California Orange Sunshine

Cara cara navel orange, grown in California. Bought four at my local market in PA this morning. Sweetest and juiciest navel oranges I've ever tasted. Cara cara's are a cross between Washington navel and Brazilian Bahia navel oranges.

What a sight for this Ohioan where it’s been cold, gray, and raining all day long….

Now I want one! Thank you Peggy!

I bought a few of the cara cara navel oranges at a grocery store last week to see if they're any better than the bland, dry navel oranges usually available. The cara caras are delectable. I was glad to see a bin full of them at my local farmers' market today. They're in season from CA until April.
