We would like to advertise on behalf of Lemon Tree Produce their new products including Blood Oranges which are super tasty compared to your standard orange. The reason for their unique name is the colour, which is almost blood or flesh like caused by anthocyanins which are found in many flowers but rarely found in citrus fruit.

There are 3 common types of blood orange, the Tarocco, the Sanguinello and the Moro, while other less common blood oranges include Maltese, Khanpur, Ruby Blood, Red Valencia, Vaccaro blood orange and more.

It has not yet been defined where blood oranges originated but many speculations point as China and the Mediterranean as facts state they have been growing in these locations with the 18th century. To achieve the attractive blood colour from the anthocyanins the oranges must be developed in low temperatures during the night.

These little beauties in-fact contain more antioxidants compared to normal oranges because of their blood red pigments and taste even more delicious with an almost raspberry like taste. You may find some to be tarty and others sweet, however the characteristics make a fine choice for making marmalade and the zest and also be used for baking. Another popular dish would be a Sicilian salad which contains blood oranges, bulb fennel and olive oil. You will also find blood oranges in Italian sorbet, gelato and vinaigrette dressings.

If you're thinking about spicing up your menu with some additional, delicious flavour try these mouthwatering beauties.
