Cara Cara Navel Orange

Cara Cara Oranges are a cousin to Blood Oranges and are a result of the cross-pollination of a Washington Navel Orange and a Brazilian Bahia Navel Orange. Once the orange blossoms are pollinated, medium-sized, seedless oranges with red to pink flesh and an incredibly sweet citrus flavour are created.
Like a normal Navel orange, Cara Cara are easy-to-peel with smooth skin. But the inside of the fruit is where they differ. Where the Navel has the typical yellow-orange flesh, the Cara Cara exhibits a reddish-pink colour that resembles a pink grapefruit. They also differ in taste. The Navel is sweet and a bit acidic, but the Cara Cara has a extra-sweet flavour with notes of cranberry, blackberry, raspberry and rose. A bit special.
