Fruit Vendors - apples and oranges

At this time of year oranges and apples are plentiful, so this hawker was displaying his wares on an old cart - handmade no doubt - in the city.

One thing that we found interesting is the variety of "oranges" seen here in the cart. I'm yet to determine if they are picked early or it is "just" the variety - but their skins are still green with a hint of orange colour.

I have eaten some that would not make the table in Australia because of their lack of orange colour which would indicate ripeness, and they tasted sweet and fresh. I just assume it is a different type of orange.
