I order from Door to Door Organics from time to time since they deliver to my work every Tuesday. The fruits and vegetables are fresh and it is a convenient service. In my 'Bitty Box' order, there were 2 blood oranges. When I started peeling the blood orange, I thought it was rotten since it was dark, almost black in color. A blood orange is a variety of orange with almost-blood-colored flesh. The fruit is smaller than an average orange. Its skin is usually pitted, but can be smooth. The distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanins, a family of pigments common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits. The flesh develops its characteristic maroon color when the fruit develops with low temperatures during the night. The skin can also be more tough and harder to peel than other oranges. Blood oranges are known for their sweet and mellow flavor. I ate the orange with vanilla yogurt this morning. I think I prefer regular oranges since they are a little sweeter and more flavorful.
