Questions about oranges in Nepal
What is orange called in Nepali?
Orange is called "सुन्तला" (Suntala) in Nepali. It's one of Nepal's most beloved fruits, especially during winter. Nepali suntala are famous for their unique sweet-tangy flavor that's different from imported varieties.
When is orange season in Nepal?
Orange (suntala) season in Nepal runs from November to February, with peak availability in December-January. This is when you get the freshest, juiciest, and most affordable Nepali oranges. Sindhuli oranges typically arrive first in the market.
Where are the best oranges in Nepal from?
The best oranges in Nepal come from the hill districts of Sindhuli, Ramechhap, Dhankuta, and Salyan. Sindhuli is particularly famous for its "Junar" - a prized orange variety known for exceptional sweetness and flavor.
What is the price of oranges in Kathmandu?
Orange prices at DokoFood range from Rs. 150 to Rs. 300 per kg depending on variety and season. During peak season (December-January), prices are lower. Premium Junar oranges from Sindhuli may be priced higher due to their superior quality.
What is the difference between Suntala and Junar?
Suntala is the general Nepali word for orange. Junar is a specific premium variety from Sindhuli, known for its thin skin, seedless or few-seeded segments, exceptional sweetness, and aromatic flavor. Junar is considered the best orange variety in Nepal.
How do I choose sweet oranges?
Choose oranges that feel heavy for their size (indicating juiciness), have firm skin without soft spots, and smell fragrant at the stem end. Nepali oranges often have green patches even when ripe - color isn't always an indicator of sweetness.
How should I store oranges?
Store oranges at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for 2-3 weeks. Keep them in the crisper drawer or in a mesh bag for air circulation. Don't store in plastic bags as moisture can cause mold. Bring to room temperature before eating for best flavor.
