About Cara cara orange

Cara Cara Oranges, originating from Venezuela and now widely grown in the United States, are a unique variety of navel orange known for their vibrant pinkish-red flesh and exceptionally sweet, slightly tangy flavor. Rich in essential nutrients, they are an excellent source of vitamin C, providing over 100% of the daily recommended intake per serving, and contain notable amounts of vitamin A, folate, and potassium. These oranges also boast high antioxidant levels, including carotenoids like lycopene, which contribute to their distinct color and may support heart health and immune function. Low in calories and high in dietary fiber, Cara Caras are a delicious, nutrient-packed addition to any diet, whether eaten fresh, juiced, or added to salads and desserts. With virtually no fat and no cholesterol, they are a heart-healthy fruit. However, their natural sugar content should be consumed in moderation for those monitoring carbohydrate intake.
