Something special about Sanguinelli Blood Oranges…
The dark red color of the juice they produce has something in common with a totally different fruit that you wouldn’t be quick to guess. If the juice color looks familiar to that of a pomegranate, it’s because they both have the same compound anthocyanin which gives them that dramatic red color.
The blood orange is often (and incorrectly) described as a hybrid between a pomelo and a tangerine or other citrus, but it is merely just a genetic mutation of a sweet orange.
When are Sanguinelli Bloods available?
Bloods have a rather short harvesting season. They are typically available beginning APRIL. Due to the small availability and short season, annual market pricing will also vary from season to season.
