The Navel orange got its name from the signature “bellybutton” that appears on the blossom end of this variety. The Navel is best for eating fresh out of hand. Although you can juice a Navel orange, over time the juice turns bitter—even if it’s refrigerated—so be sure to squeeze Navel orange juice as needed and drink it right away for the best flavor.
