Looking for: good quality juice oranges (Long Island)
Any suggestions? I've been to a number of stores (Best Ever markets, Fruit Tree, and others) where what they call "juice oranges" are basically seconds--that is, mediocre quality oranges they feel they can't sell for eating out of hand. Otherwise, they stock navels.
I even saw in one supermarket (I think Chow's TOS prevents me from naming) where they'd repackaged small, blemished navels as juice oranges--the oranges still had the 4-digit PLU codes on them, used when selling them individually (to top it off, the labels were from a California grower, but the oranges had been put into a plastic bag labeling them as a product of Florida).
These seconds had been so bad, I've seen clearly rotting fruit in the bin.
Who has nice-quality oranges for juicing?
