You don't have a sink to wash your produce?

The food grown using untreated waste-water is contaminated, the pathogens don't just rinse off in the sink.

"In the case of Mexico, there have been a number of instances in which produce imported into the U.S. and Canada led to disease outbreaks. The list includes cantaloupes with Salmonella Poona, green onions with hepatitis A, and basil, bagged salad, and fresh cilantro with Cyclospora."

It's safer to buy U.S. and Canadian grown produce.

How many times has listeria laced produce from California been recalled.

I’d have not had Blue Bell ice cream since they knowing knew it was being contaminated and sold it anyway. It killed a couple people.

And while there was technically fruit present on our Valencia orange trees almost all the time, it wasn't actually always ripe. Sometimes the fruit was green, and sometimes it was orange colored but still hard and sour.

But who am I to say, maybe you had magic ever-ripe citrus trees. Or maybe first one type was ripe, and then another type, which would be normal.
You figured it out in your last sentence.

If you meant "something or other is usually ripe," why on earth didn't you say so?

The person who asked how we can buy fresh orange juice year-round had a legitimate question. Of course, that orange juice isn't really "fresh." Anyone who has tasted actual fresh orange juice wouldn't be fooled by the store-bought kind, because the taste starts to deteriorate within hours.
