Down in Exeter, CA, we met up with Porterville Citrus, a grower for Sunkist, to learn about Cara Cara Navels, Blood Oranges, and Golden Nugget Mandarins. We learned the differences in flavor profiles, growing seasons, and purposes of these different citrus varieties. Although the Golden Nugget Mandarins look bumpy and unattractive, they have one of the most popular flavor profiles amongst citrus fruits – and the time to buy is now before they are out of season!
