About this item

Ever heard of Cara Cara oranges? If not, let me introduce you to these little gems. They're not your typical oranges, but rather, a powerhouse of nutrition. With a whopping 20% more vitamin C and almost 30% more vitamin A than regular navel oranges, they're a tasty way to boost your health! Not to mention, they're absolutely delicious.

A Winter Delight

One of the best things about Cara Cara oranges is that they're seasonal, typically available during the winter months. During this time, when many fruits are out of season, these oranges provide a nutritious snack option. It's like having a little burst of sunshine in the dreary winter!

More than Just a Snack

But don't just think of Cara Cara oranges as a snack. They're so much more than that! Their vibrant color and sweet flavor make them a beautiful and tasty addition to a variety of recipes. Imagine a fresh citrus salad or a tangy orange cake made with these beauties. Yum!

Sweetness Overload

What sets Cara Cara oranges apart from typical oranges is their low acidity. This gives them a sweeter, almost berry-like flavor. It's a unique twist on the classic orange taste we all know and love. Once you try one, you might just find yourself hooked!

Pro Tips & Tricks: How to Make Your Fresh Fruits Last

We wouldn’t want you to throw out a good piece of fruit, all due to a storage mistake! Read our tips and tricks to find out how to get your fruit perfectly ripe and to stay fresh for as long as possible.

  • Bananas, pineapples, melons, mangos, plums, peaches and pears: These meant to be stored at room temperature in a cool spot with ample circulation until ripe. Once they’re ripe, transfer them to the fridge until you’re ready to eat them; this will slow down the ripening process.
  • Avocados and tomatoes: Yes, these are fruits! Store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight and use when ripe.
  • Grapes, lemons, oranges and limes: Store them in the fridge’s produce/crisper drawer until ready to use. For cut-up citrus fruits, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the fridge.
  • Apples: This is a toss-up. Apples can be stored in a cool, dry dark place (for long-term storage) or in the fridge (if you know you’ll eat them within a few weeks). Apples emit ethylene gas which will speed up the ripening process for other produce so it’s best to store them separately.
  • Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries: Transfer the berries from the clamshell packaging into a bag or container lined with a paper or cloth towel. Wash right before you’re ready to eat them. Pre-washing berries will cause them to get soggy.
  • Freeze any unused fruit by cutting them into bite-sized pieces, laying them on a flat sheet with parchment paper and placing them in the freezer. Once frozen, remove the fruit from sheet and store in a plastic bag or container.
