Some oranges are sweet, and make delicious orange juice. Some oranges are sour, and make sour orange juice. When I'm shopping for oranges, my first choice is locally-grown, then organic, then I might try whatever 'conventional' orange the store happens to carry. I find some stores to be more reliable for carrying decent oranges than others. I think Trader Joe's organic frozen orange juice is more reliable than the other frozen orange juices that I've tried.
tldr: IMO organic oranges are usually sweeter than non-organic; local > organic.
- saiya-jin 9y agojudging quality of the fruit on sugar content is a poor health choice I am afraid. or sure path to diabetes and one hell of a health cluster-fuck down the road. take bananas for example - unripe are not sweet, ripe or over-ripe (if that's a word for yellow-brownish) are sweet. BUT - taste quality for this food is in "banana-taste" - taste one in Europe retail store or US, and go to some equatorial republic and pick up one from the tree. the difference in taste is staggering, and it transform the mediocre fruit into mounth-watering experience (just came from Seychelles, I guess I won't eat any back home for a while). it's what you wrote - local fresh above all. One of the reasons I avoid sweet apples - many just became too sweet and I don't believe they are healthy food anymore. I read somewhere people buy more sweet ones, so it makes sense for producers to grow those, but this ain't for me anymore.
