I still remember sitting in English during my junior year of high school and seeing a classmate start eating something that looked like an orange, only the flesh was a deep wine-red and the peel had a reddish blush to it. It looked cool, and when I found out the fruit was called a “blood” orange, I was sold. I still enjoy eating blood oranges, but now I’m even fonder of squeezing them to make blood orange juice: bright red, tastes like oranges and yet more exotic, and just different.

They’re in season now, so enjoy!

Here’s a cool history of the blood orange.
