Mine were full, and I do mean full of seeds. I would say 20 - 30 per honeybell. Tastes fine but not as sweet as last year. And I did wait a few days for some because could not eat all same day. You never know what you get. Wish there was a way before they sold so many. Random testing may be a way but never a for sure thing. I just squeeze them and enjoy the juice.

Mine are sweet and mild. I got a 15 lb. box and have eaten several so far and they have been wonderful. A few have seeds, but others are completely seedless.
In past years, I have gotten shipments that have been a bit on the tart side as well. This is natural fruit after all, and they are affected by various growing conditions, etc. Even when I buy regular oranges in the grocery store, each batch is different.
I think it's a good idea to use them in smoothies. They are still a healthy alternative, regardless. 🙂

I only purchased them once. I went directly to to the grower (in Florida) Forgotten the name, LOL. Any it was OK. I got 10 of them. Neither my husband or my son liked them, so I ended up giving some to my neighbors or eating them. Some were wonderful, some not so great. Each honey bell tasted different. Very strange.

I just received mine this afternoon and posted seperately how disappointed I was in them. They had a note in the box that they had subsituted the California ones and those are sour. I ordered some California ones last year after I enjoyed the Florida ones and discovered how much I don't like the California ones. It is very disappointing. I'll just juice mine to get the nutrients down me. I tried one and it is so tart....ick! Fortunately I had ordered and received some earlier this month from Hales and they were Florida ones that were delicious, so I got a few good ones this year.
Maybe your friend can just juice them for the Vitamin C which is a good help for Covid-19 healing.
I'll buy from other growers next year, not QVC.
