How it's used
The term specifically highlights the distinctive navel like indentation at the bottom of the fruit. While it is a common variety sold in supermarkets, people often just refer to it as 橙 unless they need to specify the type for a recipe or shopping list. It is prized for being seedless and easy to peel compared to other varieties.
