Description:
Although the Cara Cara Navel Orange was thought to be the result of a cross between Washington and Brazilian Bahia navels (Allen Susser’s The Great Citrus Book), UC Riverside citrus experts say it was a mutation of a Washington Navel discovered on the Hacienda de Cara Cara in Valencia, Venezuela, in 1976.
The Cara Cara’s flavor is low acid and sweet, and has more depth and richness than that of the traditional Navel, and its flesh is very pink, similar to a Ruby Grapefruit. Locally grown by a sustainable farmer.
