…more like a “bloody” mess! [maniacal laugh]
Once I finished prepping the juicy little beasts, my countertop was covered in dark violet-red droplets (beautiful as they were). I actually looked vampire-like while sucking on them, gory juices dripping from my chin. Pictured above are Moro blood oranges. They are very fragrant, flavorful and virtually seedless. They have a deep sweetness with a barely noticeable tartness and a hint of raspberry in their aftertaste. Pretty far out, eh?! Generally, blood oranges are available between November and May, depending on where they are grown. They have loads of vitamin C, possibly more than regular oranges. That lovely burgundy pigment you see there is due to high levels of a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanin. You know that antioxidants help obliterate free radicals. Right?? [wink]
