What Are Blood Oranges?
Blood oranges are a variety of orange, which have a deep dark purple interior, much like blood. They taste like a regular orange, however the color is different.
They are sweet and fresh tasting, like a classic navel orange. They are in season in winter, like most citrus fruits, and you can typically find them in grocery stores from December through April.
