In July 7, 2024, Sister Search's editor shared four secrets to selecting perfect oranges. They shared that heavier oranges in the same batch indicate juiciness, smaller pores on the skin indicate freshness, shiny skin symbolizes freshness, and semi-yellow skin represents optimal sweetness. Additionally, it is advised not to refrigerate oranges to prevent dehydration. Home growers also mentioned that factors like weather and harvest period affect sweetness, recommending choosing oranges with slightly yellowish peel towards the end of November to early December for sweeter taste.
