Navelappelsiinien

Navelappelsiinien are a variety of citrus fruits that belong to the Rutaceae family. They are a type of mandarin orange, specifically the washy or loquat mandarin (Citrus unshiu), which is native to China and was later introduced to Japan and other parts of Asia.

Navelappelsiinen are characterized by their characteristic navel-like formation, where two seeds are located in a small depression near the top of the fruit, resulting in a self-fertilizing method of growth. This leads to the production of fruit with a single, large, viable seed located at the "navel" of the fruit.

The fruit typically has a spherical or slightly oval shape, measuring around 6-7 centimeters in diameter, and has a loose, easy-to-peel skin. The flesh is tender, juicy, and typically deep orange in color, with a sweet and slightly sour taste. The flavor and texture of navelappelsiinien make them a popular variety among citrus fruit enthusiasts.

Navelappelsiinien are widely cultivated in several regions, including Japan, Korea, and parts of Southeast Asia. The optimal climate for growing navelappelsiinien is in zones with mild winters and cool summers, which allows for a bountiful harvest during the late fall and early winter months.
