Cara Cara Navels
Cara Cara navel oranges are a vibrant winter citrus known for their striking pink-hued flesh and sweet, tangy flavor.

Seedless and easy to peel, Cara Caras are as convenient as they are delicious, making them a favorite for snacking, baking, or adding brightness to seasonal dishes. Their balanced sweetness and juicy texture set them apart from traditional navel oranges, offering a truly special citrus experience. Â
Packed with vitamin C, fiber, and powerful antioxidants like lycopene, Cara Cara oranges are as nutritious as they are flavorful. They’re perfect for enjoying fresh out of hand, slicing into vibrant salads, or using their juice and zest to elevate desserts, marinades, or cocktails. Their vivid color and bright, refreshing taste bring warmth and cheer to the winter season, making them a must-have for any fruit lover.
