At our last meeting-Stella brought CARA CARA oranges for our snack. I had never eaten one so I had to try–seemed to me they have a distinct flavor. Some questioned:
Were they a cross between a blood & naval orange??
Jennie shared, the red color in fact due to LYCOPENE.
The same component in tomatoes…..raising the question
fruit or vegetable?? I will leave all of this up to you to ponder ……
I am just going to enjoy eating them……….g
