Navel oranges are round to slightly oval and 3 to 4 inches in diameter, with medium to thick rind which is bright orange in color with a slightly pebbly texture. Underneath the rind is a white pith which is easily removed.

Info
They’re named because of the small indentation on the outside of the rind, situated at the opposite end from the stem, that somewhat resembles a human navel.
