Orange You Tired of Bad Oranges?

When was the last time you had a good orange? Go ahead, comment.

Out of my most recent bunch, one of the five were good (but not great), and that is better than usual. I have not had an excellent orange in years.

Is something happening to our orange supply? Am I choosing the wrong type of oranges (usually Naval, but not always)?

Today, someone recommended I try Blood Oranges, because “they’re the best oranges!” Coincidentally, KL encouraged me to buy a Blood Orange tree, so we could trade citrus (my research on the matter is still pending).

During the last few months I have also been disappointed in apples. On the flip side, Ecuadorian organic bananas have been incredible but difficult to time due to their short window of proper ripeness.
