New varieties of citrus like cara cara navels and blood oranges are growing in popularity, but farmers say supermarkets need to stock more to grow demand.
The head of the SA citrus industry says he expects more cara cara navels to hit the shelves this year
"They all quite often look the same on the outside, so if you're just scanning the aisle you really can't tell the difference," she said. Ms Reidy said cara cara navels, which have a pink flesh, have been attracting more interest from consumers in the last four to five years. "They are great for cocktails and great for a burst of colour, so we're seeing lots of Instagrammers using them as well," she said.Citrus SA chair Mark Doecke grows cara cara navels in his orchards at Sunlands in South Australia's Riverland, about two hours from Adelaide.
"A mild summer produces a virtually cool-climate citrus, so the flavours are awesome this year," he said.
