Navel Chocolate

[radoslav]

 "In 2006 a few brown oranges were found on a Navel tree in the Spanish citrus growing region of Valencia, close to Wilkofruit's office. Because the rest of the tree had normal oranges, they decided to analyse this citrus. The result was amazing, so they decided to inoculate the variety, and that is how the 'Navel Chocolate' that we know today, came to be. "

The rind is an unusual brown shade

Is the color the only difference? Or taste also?

[samodelkin]

It tastes like a regular Navel.

I just bought one at the grocery store today. Although it is supposedly sweeter and juicier, I couldn't taste any difference to a normal navel orange.

This is a little misnomer. The orange does not taste, act, smell, melt like chocolate. Even the coloring is no excuse for chocolate. I know not why it could be called chocolate. Someone ran out of names to call stuff.😁

Well all the brown capsicums and chill peppers that colour brown, which is basically red pigment plus the unripe green pigment are called "chocolate ". I guess they took it from there
Some of the dark Mexican dried Mole peppers do have a slight dark chocolate note flavour.
Any more news on this Chocolate Orange ??
