Here in .au there are 2 varieties of Orange … Valencias ripen in Spring/Summer and Washington Navals ripen in winter. In Autumn there is a gap.
It is impossible to buy or grow a fresh orange anytime between February and May.
The orange I tried to eat this morning ended up in the chook scraps…recycled into eggs. Do I have to resort to buying juice or vitamin C tablets?
So what is wrong with our storage technology? We can send a space mission but we cant store an orange?
What happens overseas? Is there a ‘fresh orange gap’ in other countries?
