Sweet and juicy, yet nuanced and balanced, with bright orange skin, heirloom organic navels have the pitch-perfect, old-time flavor you imagine when you think of the ideal orange. These organic navels are of the Washington variety, which is thought of as the original navel. Brazilian orange trees first reached Washington, D.C., in the 1870s, and the Department of Agriculture sent them to a horticulturist in California, who began to grow them with great success. Although the orange went on to change the face of the state of California, it became known as the Washington navel. Grown by Buck Brand, a small, organic, family-owned ranch in Porterville, California. All Buck Brand fruit is picked to order, never waxed, and delivered within days of harvest, not weeks.
