Bahia Orange Grafted Healthy Fruit Plant

Bahia Orange (Washington Navel)
Origin and History: It originated in Bahia, Brazil, in the early 1800s as a natural mutation of a select orange tree; it was later introduced to the United States, sparking the California citrus industry.

Physical Appearance: The fruit is characterized by its thick, bright orange, pebbled rind and a distinct "navel" at the blossom end, which is actually a tiny, secondary fruit growing inside.

Flavor Profile: It is celebrated for its exceptionally sweet, rich, and tangy flavor with very low acidity, making it one of the most popular eating oranges in the world.

Seedless and Easy to Peel: Bahia oranges are naturally seedless and have a thick skin that separates easily from the flesh, making them highly convenient for fresh consumption.

Culinary Use: While perfect for snacking and salads, the juice contains limonin, which can turn bitter if left exposed to air for too long, so it is best consumed immediately after squeezing.
