Why do valencias have a green tinge?
A. All orange varieties go through the re-greening process however, Australian Valencia oranges are more obviously green because they are the only orange variety grown in Australia at the height of summer. In fact, the greener the skin, the sweeter and juicier the Australian Valencia orange is on the inside. It’s an indication that is has been left on the tree to absorb the energy of the sun and ripen naturally to its full potential.
