Origin
California, United States.
The Navel orange is one of the world's most important fresh citrus varieties, named after the small secondary fruit that develops at the blossom end, creating its distinctive "navel." California's San Joaquin Valley provides ideal growing conditions that promote slow maturation, resulting in high natural sugar content, vibrant color, firm texture and exceptionally juicy, virtually seedless fruit. These qualities have made Kings River® Navel oranges a benchmark for premium fresh citrus.
