Uses:

Melissa's Cara Cara Orange is also known as the red navel orange, it originated at the Hacienda de Cara Cara in Valencia, Venezuela. Cara Cara Oranges have a bright orange peel and pink - raspberry colored flesh. Its taste is sweet with undertones of sweet-cherry, with a low acid profile. Very juicy and best when eaten fresh out of hand, Cara Caras are also popular with chefs for use in cooked sauces.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Choose Cara Cara Oranges that are firm and heavy for their size. Cara Cara Oranges may have a full-colored pink-reddish blush. Avoid blemishes and shriveled or moldy spots. For the juiciest, sweetest fruit, look for Cara Cara Oranges with a sweet, clean fragrance. Store at cool room temperatures for up to one week or refrigerate for up to two weeks.

Three medium-sized Cara Cara Oranges equal approximately one pound.
