The Sweet Citrus Gem

Common Names: Cara Cara Red Navel Orange, Pink Navel Orange
Family: Rutaceae
Origin: Venezuela (Discovered in 1976)

This Cara Cara Red Navel Orange Tree (Citrus sinensis 'Cara Cara') is a unique and delightful variety of navel orange, renowned for its distinctively pinkish-red flesh and exceptionally sweet flavor. Often referred to as the "Red Navel Orange," this citrus is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a visually striking addition to any fruit basket. With its low acidity and rich flavor profile, the Cara Cara Orange is a favorite for fresh eating, juicing, and adding a splash of color to salads and desserts.

The Red Navel tree is more closely related to other navel varieties than the similar-looking blood orange. Call it splitting hairs, but there is one significant difference in the chemical makeup of the fruits. In blood oranges, the red pigment comes from anthocyanin, but red navel oranges get their coloration from carotenoids like lycopene. 

Leaves: The Cara Cara Orange tree features dark green, glossy leaves that provide a lush, evergreen appearance year-round. The foliage is dense, making it a beautiful ornamental tree in addition to its fruit-bearing capabilities.

Fruits: The fruit of the Cara Cara Orange is medium to large, with a smooth, bright orange rind. The interior is what sets this orange apart—its flesh is a striking pinkish-red, almost resembling a grapefruit, but without the bitterness. The flavor is sweet, with low acidity and subtle notes of cherry and berry, making it perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and brightening up any dish.

Uses: Cara Cara Oranges are incredibly versatile. They are ideal for fresh consumption, juicing, and using in salads, desserts, and garnishes. Their unique color and sweet flavor also make them a popular choice for cocktails and culinary presentations.
