Orange Cove, CA – It’s that time of year again! Cecelia Packing Corporation is excited to announce that their popular Cara Cara Pink Navel Oranges are on their way to customers around the U.S. and Canada.
Cecelia’s Cara Caras are now being picked and packed, ready to help jump-start holiday produce aisle sales. This year’s crop is a sweet start to a good season, as sugar levels are high. The company’s tasty and tangy Cara Caras are a delectable product that customers look forward to year after year.
Cecelia Packing Corporation is a leader in the growing, harvesting and packing of these unique navel oranges and can proudly say – with what Mother Nature has given them lately – this year’s crop quality looks exceptional in terms of taste and supply.
“We have a good sized crop this year, up about 15% to 20% over last year,” said Randy Jacobson, Sales Manager of Cecelia Packing Corporation. “We will have great volume from the first week of December, well into April.”
Cecelia’s Cara Caras may look like an average Navel Orange from the outside, but they have a distinctive rich pink pulp, an original tangy and sweet citrus taste, and are less acidic than other citrus varieties. Some say the unique flavor has a hint of cherry, raspberry or cranberry, but all agree they are delicious! What gives them that pink flesh? Cara Caras contain high levels of lycopene, a naturally occurring phytochemical nutrient that gives its distinctive reddish color to many fruits and vegetables.
