Oranges

About this product

A sunny start to the day. Our oranges taste intense, sunny-sweet and juicy, which is mainly due to the loving care of our master growers like Jesús Vega. For example, natural methods are used against harmful insects. Traps with attractants hang in the trees every few feet to keep them away from the sweet fruit. “We also use natural predators such as ladybirds against pests”, Jesús explains. Before picking, the fruits are tested for their juice content and sugar-acid ratio. Only if both are ideal do we pick them gently by hand. And only the very best fruits are sent north as delicious SanLucar oranges. In addition to different varieties of eating oranges, we also have sun-ripened Tarocco blood oranges and juice oranges. They are free from the bitter substance limonin and remain nice and sweet after squeezing.

Our oranges: Sunny Sweeties: Fresh from nature, our sun-sweet oranges feel really good in the jute bag. Reusable and only on sale for a few winter weeks from mid-November to the end of December. Morgensonne Saft-Orangen: A perfect start to the day is quite simple: our sweet juice oranges conjure up the ideal good-morning juice with a high juice content and few bitter substances. Sunset Glow: With its juicy-tender and ruby-red flesh, our Sunset Glow makes for a deliciously sweet refreshment. And thanks to their easily detachable skin, we can also snack on them quite easily! Sweet Sun Kisses: Picked at just the right time in several harvests, our sun-ripened eating oranges become a sweet refreshment.

Good to know: Oranges retain their fresh flavour if they are kept in the fridge.

Country of origin: During the winter months, SanLucar oranges mainly come from Valencia, Spain. For example, in the high and late summer months also from South Africa.

Storage: It is best to store them in a cool place or even in the refrigerator, because they quickly lose flavor at room temperature. And it is better not to put them together with apples, because they emit the ripening gas ethylene.

Tips and special features: The fruits contain so much vitamin C that one 200-gram orange already covers the daily requirement of an adult. Oranges are not only delicious for snacking and drinking, but also emanate a pleasant fragrance when combined with cloves. To do this, poke holes in the orange peel with a toothpick or skewer, spike them with cloves, and your home will smell wonderfully natural and fresh.
