So the local paper had a coupon last week for "exotic" citrus fruits from Sunkist. I picked up some honey tangerines (meh), the nicest blood oranges I've ever found, and, best of all: CARA CARA Oranges!
The first unusual thing about these is that the flesh is (or can be) pinkish, though the rind is as orange as ever. Next, they are the tastiest, sweetest, seedless orange I've ever had. The little pulpy things inside are extra fat so you can actually feel them explode one by one in your mouth! I googled them and found out that they are only available Dec-Mar, and that they are more nutritious than any other orange. Sunkist calls them the Power Orange. If you are lucky enough to see these at your store BUY THEM!

no one near me had any.
my grocery store had them , tho they are expensive 3 for $1.99 . I only bought 3 because hubby was not too happy about the cost. At least I got to try them.
