Thanks for this reminder, debknott!

I bought a bag of blood oranges and once again, while thrilled with their color, thought they were less tasty than the classic naval oranges. Cara cara's next trip!

Yep. The blood oranges LOOK good, but they are NOTHING compared to the Cara Caras. I love them and my husband is positively addicted!

They are in Whole Foods in West Palm Beach, FL.

Stocked up on Sumos today. $2.49 a lb at Luckys market. Usually $3.99 around here.

Well, I didn't get the Cara Cara's as soon as I had planned on, hence my delay in writing my review. Yes, debknott, you are correct. The Cara Cara's are lovely! I did purchase one Sumo and it was delicious! But..., I just can't justify paying $2.75 for one piece of fruit when I've been able to get regular Navel and Cara Cara's on sale for under $1.00 a pound. One thing about the Sumo, though, the skin was thin, so at least there was a lot of fruit.

For some reason the Navel oranges have been my favorite so far this season. But we have over ten Cara Cara's here, too, so you know I really like them, as well.

Sounds like that was a lucky find at Lucky's Market, f1jim! So glad you were able to fuel your addiction all the more with that great price find.

Turns out that it was 8 in a box for $15, but they were delicious! Was approx 4.5 lbs of fruit, so not as good of a deal as I thought, but I suspected something might have been "off" on the online grocery store listing since they are certainly not grown anywhere near me

I'm sorry for acknowledging your reply so late, ch47gunnergirl. Too bad it wasn't as good of a deal as you thought it was, but for Sumos, as you kind of mentioned, it wasn't horrible, and at least they were delicious! Yum!!
