After visiting the Mellano’s Farm Stand last week, I picked up a bag of colorful blood oranges after visiting
The Juicing Gents. I tried the blood orange juice and it was bright and delicious. One citrus I look forward to cooking with are these limited oranges. There are many varieties of blood oranges. The oranges at the market was the “Moro” orange. A deep veined red and white interior that is just beautiful. It also produces a radiant red juice! Blood Oranges are unique because of their color. They are not commonly found in the supermarkets. Blood Orange Trees are available to plant in your garden. These pictured are the Moro orange, which have the deepest color red. The Pearson Ranch has more information available on these unique oranges.
