4 Fascinating Facts About Valencia Oranges You Didn't Know

- Summer Champion: Unlike most oranges that ripen in winter, Valencia oranges are known as "summer oranges," ripening in late spring through summer, making them crucial for year-round orange juice production.

- Double Crop Wonder: Valencia orange trees can carry two crops simultaneously - one maturing crop and one developing crop - a rare phenomenon in citrus fruits. This unique characteristic earned them the nickname "twelve months oranges."

- California Origin Story: Despite their Spanish name, Valencia oranges were actually developed in Southern California in the late 1800s. They quickly became the gold standard for juice oranges worldwide, helping establish California's citrus industry.

- Green Revival: A unique characteristic of Valencia oranges is their tendency to "regreen" in warm weather. The ripe orange fruit can develop patches of green on the skin due to chlorophyll production - a natural process that doesn't affect the fruit's ripeness or quality.
