UPDATE: CARA CARA ORANGES

November 21, 2024

The Cara Cara orange season will begin next week in a limited manner; supplies will ship through late April. The Cara Cara variety was created by cross-pollinating Washington Navels and Brazilian Bahia Navels.

  • External color is comparable to that of Navel oranges; in fact, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference until they are cut open
  • Their pink flesh is juicy and looks similar to a grapefruit, without the bitter flavor
  • Cara Caras typically have elevated sugar levels, low acid, and sweet, berry-like notes
  • Pricing is a bit higher than the Navel market due to their premium taste and sweetness
  • Early season quality is excellent; supplies are ample
