Not all fruit is the same. Educate yourself

I always say be educated about what you eat. And in this case, I found out that all fruit is not equal in vitamins. I love oranges at this time of year. I really enjoy getting my Vitamin C from oranges in the winter. I normally prefer an orange that is easy to peel. I recently was turned on to Cara Cara oranges. I found them to be very sweet. Then I started to read about them and what I found surprised me. Cara Cara oranges don’t have more sugar than your ordinary navel oranges. They have less acid, so the sugar really stands out. In addition, most oranges will have about 2 – 3% of the normal daily requirement of Vitamin C. Surprisingly, Cara Cara oranges have 30% of the daily requirement of Vitamin C. And surprisingly, this orange is easy to peel. So next time you reach for an orange, pass-by other oranges and grab the Cara Cara orange.
