Navel Oranges

Navel oranges are deliciously sweet and with their slightly pebbly texture and no seeds they make the perfect snack. Use them in desserts or even tossed into salads for extra flavour.

How to buy

Select oranges that feel heavy for their size and have unblemished skin.

How to store

Store in refrigerator for longer shelf life.

How to cook

For a fresh and colourful dessert serve thick slices of oranges with halved strawberries and thick yoghurt.

For a fresh breakfast idea, soak bircher muesli overnight in freshly squeezed orange juice then stir fresh orange peices through muesli with yoghurt.

Chef's secret

Much of an orange's fibre content is lost in the juicing process so encourage kids to eat whole oranges rather than just drinking juice.

Go well with 

Cinnamon, duck, cardamom, cloves, olives and beetroot.
