Citrics Problem

No luck with citrics the whole summer.  No matter what I buy – oranges, tangerines, clementines, they are all super dry.

I normally don’t mind a little dry oranges but those are so dry that it’s not even edible. And there is no flavor at all. Let’s say an orange. Normally, when it’s dry, it’s only one side. The other side is usually still okay. So in the spirit of not wasting food, I would bite off the non-dry side, trying to eat as much as possible. But this time, the whole thing is so dry and the flavor is just non-existent that I gave up trying. Had to toss them out.

I even tried and buy from fancy Longos.  Not as bad but similar problem. They are barely edible but still don’t taste good at all.

Don’t know what’s wrong with the citrics this year. It’s not a particularly dry year, I don’t think. I normally like oranges/clementines as one of my regular fruits but after multiple failures, I am wary about buying any more citrics. Is it just my bad luck or is it happening to everyone??
