Name(s): Cara cara navel orangeAvailability in CA: late November
Characteristics: Wikipedia says, "This medium sized navel is sweet and low in acid, the flavor is more complex than most navel varieties and has been described as evoking notes of cherry, rose petal and blackberry." I like it because it reminds me of a grapefruit without the acidity. The flesh color is quite neat-- it can range from a deep pink to a dull orange.
I got these from a farmers' market, but they are common enough that you can often find them at a specialty produce shops-- I even found a big bag of them at Costco. Delicious!
