The Jaffa orange (also known as Shamouti orange) is a popular almost seedless orange variety with a tough skin that makes it particularly suitable for export.Developed by farmers in the mid-19th century, the variety takes its name from the city of Jaffa where it was first produced for export. A symbol of production and Arab-Jewish cooperation in Palestine, 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 also cultivated in Cyprus, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey.
