I bought two navel oranges at the supermarket yesterday.

I just peeled one, and the fruits pink inside. Furthermore, it tastes rather like a pink grapefruit.

The label says "Sunkist 3130 cara cara."

Yes, citrus are weird, but I expect a little more consistency from seedless fruit, which should be clones.

Cara cara oranges are a relatively new breed. What you describe is consistent with my experience of them.

Oh, I love cara cara. Sweeter than grapefruit, and pretty.

Apparently, Cara Cara is a Pink Navel Orange. So the store mixed up two different oranges in the same bin.

I love Cara Caras. I do think they taste somewhat like pink grapefruit. Haven't had any yet this season.
