Did you know the Navel orange is called a navel orange because of how the top looks like a bellybutton? Or why honeybell’s are called honeybells? Being able to use fun facts help engage your supporters and could help them win a trivia game night!

Navel oranges are typically the orange you think of when you think of an orange. These typically have thicker skin, are easier to peel, and make great snacks! Navels have a longer availability following between November through April so they’re great to enjoy in the Fall and Spring!
