Re: [nafex] Jaffa Orange
I've had a number of Jaffa oranges imported from Israel. They have very
thick, somewhat sweet skin - similar to navel oranges, but much
thicker. So they're always much smaller than they appear. Other than
that, they're quite good - sweet, juicy, and not very seedy.
I was told that the thick skin was useful in (dry) Israeli conditions,
as it conserves the moisture in the fruit. I think they are usually
grown grafted onto a wild lemon.
