blood orange

a citrus fruit with red or maroon-colored flesh, used in culinary applications for its unique appearance and tangy flavor

Blood oranges originate from Italy and are believed to have been first cultivated in Sicily. They are prized for their distinctively deep red or maroon-colored flesh, which sets them apart from other varieties of oranges. With a slightly sweeter and more berry-like flavor profile than traditional oranges, blood oranges are a popular choice for both culinary and decorative purposes. Rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, they offer both nutritional benefits and a unique taste experience.
