The Jaffa orange (Hebrew: תפוז יפו) also known as Shamouti orange (Arabic: برتقال شموطي), is an orange variety with few seeds and a tough skin that makes it particularly suitable for export.
Developed by Palestinian farmers in the mid-19th century, the variety takes its name from the city of Jaffa where it was first produced for export.[1][2] The orange was the primary citrus export for the city. It is, along with the navel and bitter orange, one of three main varieties of the fruit grown in the Mediterranean, Southern Europe, and the Middle East. The Jaffa is cultivated in Cyprus, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey.[2][3]
