Premium King Orange – The Nutrient-Dense Citrus of the Tropics

1. Introduction to King Orange

King Orange, known scientifically as Citrus reticulata × sinensis and locally as Cam Sành, is a unique hybrid between a mandarin and a sweet orange. It is easily distinguished by its thick, rough, “terracotta-like” green skin and its deep, vibrant orange flesh.

At Vinahugo, we supply premium King Oranges sourced from the mineral-rich alluvial soils of the Mekong Delta (Vĩnh Long and Hậu Giang). Renowned for its incredibly high juice content and a bold, sweet-tart flavor profile, the King Orange is considered the gold standard for juicing in Southeast Asia.
