navel oranges
Belly-button fruit variety
Navel oranges are a variety of orange distinguished by a small secondary fruit at the base, visible as a navel-like formation at the blossom end.
They're seedless, easy to peel, and prized for eating fresh rather than juicing.
The navel develops from a conjoined twin fruit that remains undeveloped: California navel oranges are in season from December through May.
