Cara Cara Oranges Delivery or Pickup

The Cara Cara orange is one of the newest popular members of the orange family. This variety is a cross between the Washington Navel orange and the Brazilian Bahia Navel Orange. On the outside, the Cara Cara orange looks like many other navel oranges. But once you cut into it, you'll see why it's grown so popular.

Cara Cara oranges have bright red and pink flesh that offers a unique sweet citrus taste. The color of the Cara Cara orange's flesh is similar to a grapefruit's, but Cara Cara oranges don't have the sourness of grapefruits. This hybrid orange is also known as the red-fleshed navel orange. The Cara Cara orange is seedless.

It has a sweet citrus flavor with notes of cranberry and blackberry. The Cara Cara orange has a lot of juice, making it great for creating delicious fruit juice.
