"Navel Powell" Orange
Like other summer navel oranges (with the characteristic “navel” resulting from a second fruit growing inside the first), Navel Powell derives from a mutation of the Washington Navel, discovered in Australia in 1982 by Neil and Joyce Powell.
The Navel Powell is an oval / elongated orange with a thin rind rich in essential oils and flesh ranging in color from yellow to orange. This fruit, like other navel varieties, is seedless. The main characteristic of this variety is its ability to maintain excellent quality well into late summer, making it a quintessential summer orange alongside Chislett Summer Navel and Valencia.
Thanks to these varieties, it is possible to enjoy delicious oranges up to the warmest months.
Sweetness (Brix):13
Acidity:0,7 - 0,9
Juice percentage:48,3%
High sugar content, low acidity, optimal juice percentage, and absence of limonin—the compound that imparts a bitter note to citrus fruits: Navel Powell is a perfect orange for freshly squeezed juice, but also delicious enjoyed in segments in all its freshness.
