HISTORY 
Cara cara navel orange

Species	Citrus × sinensis
Cultivar	'Cara Cara'
Marketing names	Power Orange
Origin	Hacienda de Cara Cara
The Cara Cara navel orange, or red-fleshed navel orange, is an early-to-midseason navel orange believed to have developed as a spontaneous bud mutation on a Washington navel orange tree.

Discovered at the Hacienda Caracara 10.2447°N 67.9478°W in Valencia, Venezuela, in 1976,[4] the Cara Cara appears to be of such uncertain parentage as to occasionally warrant the distinction of a mutation, with only the tree on which it was found—the Washington navel—being an accepted progenitor. Cara Caras did not enter the U.S consumer produce market until the late 1980s[5] and were carried only by specialty markets for many years thereafter.

Characteristics

Cara cara orange slices, on the left, compared to ordinary navel orange slices, on the right
This medium-sized navel is seedless, sweet and low in acid, and characterized by little to no pith and easy, clean separation from the rind. The flavor is more complex than those of most navel varieties and has been described as evoking notes of cherry, rose petal, and blackberry.[citation needed]

Unlike in true blood oranges, where the main pigmentation is due to anthocyanins, pigmentation in Cara Cara is due to carotenoids such as lycopene.[1][2]

Season
From the major growing regions, South American Cara Caras are ready for market starting in August, Venezuelan fruits arrive in October and California fruits make their seasonal debut in late November and are available through March.
