Description:	Blood oranges have a deep maroon interior and an orange/red blushed exterior. They have a subtly sweet and distinct flavor profile that offers a rich orange taste with a hint of fresh raspberry and are available from December through June. Blood oranges not only taste great, but are nutritious as well. Blood oranges are a great source of Vitamin C, fiber, folate and thiamin. What to Look For A Blood orange that is heavy for its size has more water content, a sign that it is juicy. How to Enjoy/Storage Instructions Blood oranges are great to eat as is, just peel and eat or they are great in recipes and beverages. The thick peel acts as a protective barrier. Since citrus fruits don't ripen after harvest, it allows for longer storage than most fruits. Whole blood oranges can be left on the counter for a few days, or the fridge for two weeks. Cut halves should be wrapped in plastic wrap and can be stored in the fridge for several days. Segments of the orange can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. The aroma and flavor of the zest doesn't last long if stored on the counter or fridge. Freezing zest works well. Once frozen, it can be stored for several months. Juice stores well in a sealed jar in the fridge for a few days. It freezes well, especially if it is frozen into ice cube trays and then transferred to an airtight container.

Their striking color a pop of red against leafy greens or a stunning dark red cocktail makes it a citrus favorite.
