navel orange
Bellybutton-marked fruit
A navel orange is a seedless orange variety with a distinctive mark at one end resembling a human navel—actually a small, undeveloped secondary fruit.
The thick skin peels easily and the flesh separates into segments, making it ideal for eating fresh rather than juicing.
I packed navel oranges for the road trip.
