Blood oranges, a distinctive type of citrus, are celebrated for their deep red or burgundy flesh, which is a unique characteristic among citrus fruits due to the presence of anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant.
These oranges are not just visually striking; they also offer a complex flavor profile that combines the sweetness of oranges with the tartness of raspberries or other berries.
Nutritionally, they are rich in vitamin C and other beneficial nutrients, contributing to their reputation as a healthy fruit choice.
