Cara Caras may be the perfect oranges.
They are intensely sweet, lower in acid, juicy, seedless, and a gorgeous pink color. The Cara Cara Navel has 1 ½ days’ worth of vitamin C, 30% of a day’s vitamin A, and just 80 calories.The taste is a cross between a navel orange and a tangerine with a hint of berry. Cara Caras were discovered in 1976 on the Hacienda Cara Cara plantation in Venezuala. They are avaible from December through May. Today’s Cara Cara Navels are from Delano, California.
