How to choose citrus?

Choosing oranges mainly depends on appearance, elasticity, size and color, as follows:

1, size and color. Medium-sized oranges are the best, the skin is too thick and the sweetness is poor, and the small ones may not grow well enough and taste bad. The skin color of most oranges changes from green to yellow and finally to orange or orange-red, so the redder the color, the better the maturity and the sweeter the taste. However, it should be noted that oranges are picked before they are ripe, and the peel is turquoise, but the taste is not sour, but the red ones will be sweeter. Besides, look at the leaves on the orange stalks. The fresher the leaves, the better the oranges.

2. fluency. Most oranges with moderate acidity and sweetness have smooth skin and fine oil cells.

3. Test the elasticity. Oranges with thin skin, thick flesh and plenty of water will have good elasticity. If you pinch them with your hands, you will feel that the meat is firm but not hard. Once you let go, you will immediately bounce back to your original state.
