I've been getting sumos at Wegmans and they are fine.

I can't believe how horrible navel oranges are. They used to be the go-to but now have thin skins that don't peel at all.

I love the tart ones! Costco has some great ones.

I feel like most oranges - navals, cara caras, mandarins, etc - are worse than they used to be - odds are 50/50 (or less!) that each orange turns out to be dry and tasteless.

We bought 6 or 8 Sumos at Whole Foods last week - most of them have been moldy, so I couldn't tell you how they taste.

I bought a box of Sumo oranges from BJs that were delicious.

Balducci's has had great Sumo's and Cara Cara's. The Mandarins from the farmer's market have also been good.

Oranges are going extinct. Florida Orange juice industry is almost done.

I like the tart sumos. Sumos are a little weird anyway. I guess they were created by some kind of cross-breeding or something?

Pretty much all of the varieties of citrus we eat are cross-bred.

Dont even bother with giants sumos this year dry and tart not sweet
