Juice Oranges 20 lbs
Juice Oranges- "LOVE" brand, juice oranges from Pearson Ranch are not only delicious for making the finest glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, consider the health benefits associated with drinking orange juice. A little research on the internet finds the following:
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute have long maintained that a low-fat diet high in Vitamin C-rich foods may help reduce the risk of some types of cancer.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, (JAMA) eating citrus (oranges) and drinking orange juice can cut the risk of stroke by nearly a third.
"Adequate Folic acid, the B vitamin in orange juice, may reduce the risk of certain birth defects." - March of Dimes
As you can see, there are some very good health reasons for drinking orange juice, but like most of you, we feel that the best reason is quite simply... because it tastes so good!

Something special about Valencia Oranges...Did you know that in the summer months perfectly ripe Valencias Oranges, while still hanging on the tree can start to once again show shades of green color? In the world of citrus farming it is called "re-greening". Simply stated, the warm daytime temperatures may cause reabsorption of chlorophyll back into the skin of the orange, causing the partial green color to occur. However, rest assured, in no way does it affect the deliciously sweet, tangy flavor of Valencias. Also, in case you're wondering... Yes, some Valencia Oranges do contain seeds.
