sweet orange
Juicy citrus fruit
Sweet orange is the common orange—the familiar citrus fruit with bright orange skin and segmented, juicy flesh.
The qualifier distinguishes it from bitter oranges, which are used mainly for marmalade and flavoring rather than eaten fresh.
Nearly all oranges sold for eating or juicing are sweet oranges: navel oranges, Valencia oranges, blood oranges.
