Blood Orange season is here, and we can't wait for you to sink your mouth into these immaculate juicy oranges!
Blood oranges have a unique flavor that makes them stand out from other types of oranges. They have a tangy and sweet raspberry-like taste along with the usual citrus notes.
The red color of blood oranges comes from an antioxidant called anthocyanin, which only forms when nighttime temperatures are low. This weather condition is common in the Mediterranean during fall and winter.
As you can see from the photo above, each blood orange contains a different amount of anthocyanins, which may affect how red the fruit is on the outside and inside.
Blood oranges are ready to eat as soon as they are picked.
