blood oranges
Blood oranges have been very near the top of my “foods to try” list ever since i first heard of them. Unfortunately, i just hadn’t seen them in stores until recently, and the last time i thought i bought one to try, i’d actually picked up a navel orange that had been carelessly placed with the blood oranges. Today, i finally bought some - and correctly this time.
i’d say they certainly earn their name, eh?
They’re a bit less juicy than other oranges, but the flavor is a lot richer and stronger. And ya gotta love that deep blood red color, too, it’s lovely. Definitely worth the wait, but i sure wish i could find them more often, and not just as the expensive health food store.
