<\/a>What is a Blood Orange?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A blood orange is a citrus fruit that looks like an orange on the outside but actually has a deep red colored center. Blood oranges get their red color from a component called anthocyanin which develops in the fruits when days are warm and nights are cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood oranges are also easier to peel than other types of oranges. They have less seeds than a regular orange and they are also a little bit sweeter. Blood oranges are just as juicy as a standard orange but the juice, of course, is a vibrant red. It really is amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
