HEALTHY RECIPE: Cara Cara Pico De Gallo
Make the “Beloved” Fruit Part of Your Diet!
Cara Cara in Italian means “beloved”. The fruit and juice of the Cara Cara Orange has an intense orange flavor with sweet cherry undertones. A recent addition to the citrus family, it was discovered in 1976 at the Hacienda Cara Cara in Venezuela – hence the name. From Venezuela it was brought to Florida and California, where it adapted and has become “beloved” in the United States.
Cara cara oranges are wonderful!
Cara Cara Oranges contain 150% of U.S Daily Recommended Consumption of Vitamin C. Since they are a member of the citrus family, Cara Cara Oranges also have detoxifying properties.
For your enjoyment of the “beloved” orange – I am listing below a Cara Cara Pico De Gallo Recipe.
