Navel oranges are named so because they have a belly button opposite the stem, but did you know that the bigger the navel, the sweeter the orange. - Millet

Either my taste has changed or Navels just aren't as good as I thought they were many years ago. Lately they aren't very juicy and don't have much taste. Orange juice , same complaint. It maybe all me. More likely they are picked earlier than years ago and quality is suffering. Tom

nickytwo, I don't think Robby is writting about the largest size fruit, I believe he is posting about the size of the navel at the bottom of the fruit. - MIllet
