Sparkle Notes: Pink Oranges, also known as Cara Cara Oranges have a rosy-pinkish flesh to deep red depending on the fruit.  They are low in acid and quite sweet and juicy.  Their season is limited from December to March-April so grab a bag while you can. I found them at Trader Joe’s. PS They are great in a salad too!

If you are an orange fan, be sure to try the Sparkling Charm Blood Orange De-Poof Beauty Juice and the Sparkling Charm Heavenly Mandarin Morning Smoothie.
