About Cara Cara
The Cara Cara orange boasts a trifecta of attributes. It has the external appearance of a true navel orange, only to reveal a rich red fleshy interior due to the presence of the pigment lycopene. It offers a succulent flavour, sweeter than navels and more comparable to tangerines, with robust citrus aromatics. It has a smooth, yet slightly pebbled, easy to peel skin and when zested, releases bright floral fragrances.
Nutritional Facts
Cara Cara oranges are a rich source of vitamin C, which is essential for immune function, skin health, and antioxidant protection. They also provide dietary fiber, which supports digestion, and contain a good amount of vitamin A, folate, potassium, and other essential vitamins and minerals. The unique pinkish-red flesh of Cara Cara oranges is due to the presence of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. These oranges are sweet and less acidic than regular navel oranges, making them a delicious and nutritious snack.
