I have talked about these sweet seedless oranges before, called Cara Cara. Picked up another bag at the store the other day. They are the best. Such a sweet flavor, with not as much acid as regular navel oranges. Perfect with no seeds as well. A great snack I would recommend. Of course any kind of fruit makes a good healthy snack.

Nature does not make seedless fruit or other plants @CarolDM so when you buy seedless it is definitely a GMO product.

What about seedless watermelon? If it tastes good, I enjoy it either way.

@caroldm Never heard of them, but that reminds me that I haven't eaten an orange for a while - this is the season for Seville oranges and I must buy some.

@CarolDM In my language, this fruit is called 'Grejpfrut' what I do know is that it should not be consumed with a certain type of medication because the medication loses its effectiveness

@CarolDM Oh I read only Cara Cara, I didn't even see it say orange

The photo confused me, it looks more like grapefruit than oranges

I wonder. If these oranges are seedless, then how are the orange farmers going to grow them?
