Navels are seedless oranges with a distinguishable “navel-like” formation found opposite the stem end which is caused by a rudimentary second fruit that grew inside the skin of the primary fruit.
One of the most popular of the orange varieties is the Navel Orange.
When a navel orange is peeled, there is a partially formed, undeveloped conjoined “twin” fruit on the blossom end.
From the outside, the blossom end looks like a human navel. Navel oranges are seedless, and the flesh is naturally very sweet and juicy.
