Cara Cara Oranges: An Orange with a Twist
Recipe for Category Food Tips, Hints & Articles
Contributed by Angela Cleveland
Cara Cara oranges have a bright orange exterior like other navel oranges, but they have a surprise on the inside. The beauty of their bright pinkish-red flesh is only topped by their sweet and tangy flavour. Those who detest picking out seeds from their oranges will enjoy the seedless Cara Cara oranges. Because these oranges have no seeds, they are sterile so must be grafted. Therefore, the Cara Cara oranges that we enjoy today have the same genetic makeup as the original tree that dates back to 1820.
Cara Cara oranges are a good source of folate and potassium and a natural source of lycopene (a disease fighting antioxidant). They are also a great source of vitamin C, A, and fibre.
