With all the votes for Valencia oranges, I bought a bag. They taste
just like store bought cartons of OJ.
The yield was decent but flavorwise, I have to tip the scale to the
Florida "Honeys," tennisball size, and the yield is the same.
The Florida Valencia oranges that I bought in a 4 lb. bag, had a
mention on the label, "color added." What's up with that? The "Honeys"
I can only buy piecemeal so there's no telling if they add color as
well but they are REALLY orange inside and out and sweeter than
Valencias.
If you can, try a dozen Florida "Honeys!"
I've been put off by the cartoned and frozen concentrate that use the
whole orange (questionable pesticide/cleansing in those processes) and
juicers that inhale the entire orange.
The one-armed orange juice "slot machines" are ok but can be a tad off-
balance and taking the mechanics out every couple of oranges to clear
the seeds and pulp is a PITA.
I haven't tried the juicers that inhale fruits and vegetables and spill
juice. Sure sounds good on paper but I can't comment.
My juicer of choice is made by Progressive. It's a manual cheap-o
plastic one with an extra "jumbo" fruit juice scraper that fits neatly
on the normal one (and really works!). Incidently, the juicer fits
perfectly on top of a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup. The base that comes
with it only holds about 1/2 cup. I found it at Bed, Bath & Beyond for
$5.
Thanks to all who replied!
