Characteristics of Red Lina fruit
Unique red flesh rich in lycopene
The most striking feature of the Red Lina orange is its intense red flesh, due to a high concentration of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. This characteristic, rare in oranges, not only confers a unique visual appeal but also nutraceutical benefits highly valued by modern consumers.
Remarkable taste quality
Red Lina offers a sweet and balanced flavor that has won over growers during drought-resistant trials in Spain. Its juice is prized for its rich aroma and liveliness, making this variety an excellent choice for fresh consumption or processing.
Fruit skin and size
The bright orange skin accentuates the aesthetic appeal of this variety on the shelves. Although the exact size is not specified, the fruits resemble the morphology of navel oranges, giving them an attractive appearance for the premium market.
Exceptional precocity
Red Lina is the earliest pigmented variety available, with harvesting beginning as early as late October, four weeks before Cara Cara. This early maturity extends the commercial season for pigmented oranges, providing a strategic advantage to growers.
