\nHere are some interesting Blood Orange Facts:
\nThe Facts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

  • Blood oranges, originally from Sicily, are juicy, sweet and have a dark red interior.\n
  • Blood oranges’ red color comes from a pigment called anthocyanin. It is not generally found in citrus fruits, but is found more commonly in red fruits and flowers.\n
  • Depending on the variety, the outside may also have dark washes of red running through it. <\/li>\n
