In Season: Oranges are at their peak between December and April. Since oranges keep well in cold storage, they can be found in supermarkets throughout the year. What to Look For: The most common variety of orange for eating is the navel orange, so named because the blossom end often resembles a navel.

How to Store: Oranges can be stored at room temperature for several days or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
