Oranges
Typically characterized by it’s vibrant orange color. Oranges are divided into 2 main varieties. Navel Oranges and Valencia Oranges.
Navel Oranges have a “bellybutton” at the blossom end that gives it its name. While these oranges are immensely popular, they are rather odd. They are naturally seedless, but if you take notice, they are actually two pieces of fruit in one. A second orange grows inside towards the blossom end which actually creates the navel that gives the orange its name.
Valencia Oranges are easily identified by the absence of the navel. This fruit is not seedless and is great for making fresh squeezed orange juice.

Persian Limes
Persian Limes are characterized by their round green appearance and sour flavor but make no mistake these small fruits are nutritional powerhouses that are high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. Much like lemons, limes have both culinary and non-culinary purposes. The zest and juice make great additions to desserts like Key Lime pie or Margaritas and the fruit can be used to garnish your favorite cocktail.
Don’t be fooled by the name, Key Limes are much different than their Persian counterparts. Key limes are typically smaller and contain more seeds than the Persian Lime. Persian limes tend to have a thicker dark green rind compared to the thin yellowish rind of the Key Lime as well.

Grapefruit
Grapefruit got its name due to the unique way it grows in clusters on a tree, much like grapes, instead of independently like oranges or other citrus fruits. Different varieties of grapefruit produce fruit with different internal colors like white, pink, red, and dark red. The external colors can even vary from green to yellow-orange with a red blush. Just like the other citrus fruits, Grapefruit is loaded with Vitamin C and Vitamin A both shown to help boost the body’s immune system.
