With all the votes for Valencia oranges, I bought a bag. They taste
just like store bought cartons of OJ. The yield was decent but flavorwise, I have to tip the scale to the Florida "Honeys," tennisball size, and the yield is the same. The Florida Valencia oranges that I bought in a 4 lb. bag, had a mention on the label, "color added." What's up with that? The "Honeys" I can only buy piecemeal so there's no telling if they add color as well but they are REALLY orange inside and out and sweeter than Valencias. If you can, try a dozen Florida "Honeys!" I've been put off by the cartoned and frozen concentrate that use the whole orange (questionable pesticide/cleansing in those processes) and juicers that inhale the entire orange. The one-armed orange juice "slot machines" are ok but can be a tad off- balance and taking the mechanics out every couple of oranges to clear the seeds and pulp is a PITA. I haven't tried the juicers that inhale fruits and vegetables and spill juice. Sure sounds good on paper but I can't comment. My juicer of choice is made by Progressive. It's a manual cheap-o plastic one with an extra "jumbo" fruit juice scraper that fits neatly on the normal one (and really works!). Incidently, the juicer fits perfectly on top of a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup. The base that comes with it only holds about 1/2 cup. I found it at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $5. Thanks to all who replied!
