Moro (blood) Orange


Average User Rating: * * * * *
The blood orange is a variety of orange (Citrus sinensis) with crimson, blood-colored flesh. The fruit is smaller than an average orange amd the juice is sweet but somewhat bitter and less acidic than that of regular table oranges.

The distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits.
Sometimes there is dark coloring on the exterior of the rind as well, depending on the variety of blood orange. The degree of coloration depends on light, temperature and variety.

The Moro, a recent addition to the blood orange family, is the most colorful of the three types, with a deep purple flesh and reddish orange rind. The flavor is stronger and the aroma is more intense than a normal orange. This fruit has a distinct, sweet flavor with a hint of raspberry particular to blood oranges.

Smaller than an orange, but bigger than a clementine, blood oranges are the perfect size for a snack! The hint of raspberry flavor is a nice change for a citrus fruit. Try roasted brussel sprouts with a bit of blood orange juice squeezed on top - yum!
