Which are the most juicy and tasty varieties that you grow?

Here is a good short documentary.

Im growing moro, sanguinelli, tarocco, and vaniglia sanguingo.  Intend to keep only one, not sure which yet.

I am growing the first three you listed.  Only the moro colors up at all and here on the upper Texas Gulf Coast it does so sporadically.  Some years a little better than others. Never like what you see in the store.   The sanguinelli & torocco taste fine but never have I picked one with any hint of color. (Even when picked into March) They all have been in the ground about 10 years. My biggest complaint is the habit of all 3 varieties to be severely alternate bearing.

Tarocco its the best orange i ever ate.A lot of juice,enough red color ( 40% of the fruit) ,verry sweet ,slightly sour and hard to peel but worths the effort because it has verry little pulp inside wich makes it easy to eat and cuts the biterness.
I have one small plant and i would grow only blood oranges but im not a citrus expert.

I'm growing Cara Cara and Morro

I'm growing Tarocco #7, a Valentine pomelo that hasn't fruited, and I picked up a little Sanguenelli at the end of summer.

The Tarocco fruits range from huge to small, some barely have a few red streaks, others have so much color they rival Moros. The peel is always light orange, lighter than my CaraCara (both are on the same tree). It sort of has 2 flavors, the orange side tastes like a balanced orange and the parts with red add a raspberry flavor. Last year it gave me a handful of oranges, all with 1 or 2 seeds and this year it gave me plenty but I don't recall seeing a single seed.

Note: Cara Cara is not a blood orange.

Amoa8 fruits are getting very red at maturity, but their taste has nothing exceptional.

Anthocyanins should be good as a source of antioxidants.

I only grow Smith Red Valencia.

It's pretty good, even from the first year's crop. We are on year three now, and it's coming to terms with xeriscape.

I've had some at the meetings that I believe were Moro, and they were really good too (I think taste was superior), but their season was reportedly short and they apparently don't hang well.
