I Love Blood Oranges
Blood oranges haven't been the most popular citrus in the past, but they are becoming more commonplace. I just love the flavor (they remind me of sweetarts), the scent, the color... I just can't say enough about blood oranges. They are juicy and a bit more sweet than the 'regular' variety of orange. My favorite way to enjoy them is by eating them fresh. But the juice itself really makes a refreshing drink, whether on it's own or mixed with some sparkling water or into a margarita. :)

At first, this seems like a simple fragrance. But once you smell thorough the layers, its complexity and sophistication comes to life.

About Blood Oranges
How They Get Their Color
Blood oranges contain a pigment called anthocyanin which is not typically found in citrus but rather more common in other red fruits and flowers. Not only is the inside of the orange darkly pigmented but depending on the variety the outside may also have dark washes of red.
Varieties
The three main blood orange varieties are Tarocco, the Moro and the Sanguigno. The Moro is being grown in San Diego, California.
Uses
Blood oranges are great for juicing and using as you would common orange juice. The dark red color of the juice makes it a good cocktail ingredient. Use fresh blood orange segments in salads, sauces, sorbets, granitas and compotes. Spanish blood oranges are used in special English marmalades.
Where To Buy
Check your local grocery store or farmer's market for fresh fruits from December through May. Juice can be purchased year round in the refrigerated section of your local grocery store.
U.S. Seasons
Texas Crop - December to March
California Crop - November to May
