What’s Special about Blood Oranges?
Blood oranges are a variety of orange, which have a deep dark purple interior. They taste very similar to a regular orange, however the color is different from a pigment called anthocyanin inside the orange.
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 stores from December through April.
