Are Green Colored Valencia Oranges perfectly ripe?

  • Valencia oranges sometimes endure a natural process called "regreening" in late spring and summer and

  • it occurs when the fruit is left on the tree during the summer months.

  • So Valencia Oranges go through a regreening process, which is when the fruit reabsorbs chlorophyll giving it hues of green even though the fruit is fully ripe.

  • In this process, warm temperature causes a pigment called chlorophyll to return to the orange's skin which causes the greenish tint.

  • Regreening does not affect the flavor of the orange.

  • The color of skin has no effect on the sweetness or quality of the orange.

  • And hence when ripe, Valencia oranges have a balanced, sweet-tart flavor.

  • That's why the world's most important commercial variety, Valencia oranges are often called summer oranges.

So, don’t be deterred if you see a tinge of green on Valencia oranges—it doesn’t mean that the fruit is unripe.
