Blood Orange

fruit · nature · color

Deep red insides. Blood oranges have a striking crimson or deep red flesh inside, which is where they get their dramatic name. The color comes from special plant pigments called anthocyanins.

Still sweet oranges. Despite their scary appearance, blood oranges are actually a variety of sweet orange, just like the regular oranges you eat. They taste sweet and citrusy, sometimes with a hint of raspberry flavor.

Grown worldwide. Blood oranges are cultivated in warm climates around the world, making them available in many grocery stores. They're a real fruit you can actually buy and eat, not just something from a fantasy story.

Great for juice. Their deep red color makes blood orange juice look spectacular, and many people love using them to make fresh juice or fancy drinks. The color looks cool but tastes just as delicious as regular orange juice.
