Valencia Oranges
Valencia oranges are primarily cultivated for processing and juice production, but their exceptional taste and internal color also make them a popular choice for fresh fruit markets. These oranges typically contain seeds, ranging from zero to nine per fruit. With an average diameter of 2.7 to 3 inches (69 to 76 mm; 6.9 to 7.6 cm), a single piece of Valencia orange weighing 96 grams (3.4 oz) provides 45 calories and 9 grams of sugar.
Along with their delicious taste, Valencia oranges offer numerous health benefits. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C, which helps support a healthy immune system and prevent skin damage. Furthermore, these oranges can help regulate blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and control blood sugar levels. Studies have even suggested that regular consumption of Valencia oranges may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
