Oranges

Navel oranges are available from November through May, with peak supplies in January, February and March. Navel oranges are easy to spot in your produce aisle-they're the ones with the button formation opposite the stem end. Considered the world's finest orange for eating, navels are seedless, and they peel and segment easily. Valencia oranges-often called summer oranges-are actually available from February through October, with peak supplies in May, June and July. Valencia oranges are small to medium sized, and they may have a few seeds. They are usually thin-skinned. If you're craving sweet and flavorful fresh OJ, squeeze some Valencias. You'll get lots of juice from each one!

Lemons

Fresh lemons are available all year. Bright yellow, tart and tangy, lemons are a versatile element of today's healthy diet.
