I get them here all the time. In fact, they are the only kind of orange that I will eat. The inside looks more like a ruby red grapefruit. But when they are ripe, they are the sweetest orange out there. They are definitely my favorite.

Blood oranges are called that because the interior flesh of the orange is reddish in color. If you can get them fresh, they can be quite sweet and good. I have eaten them in Italy when I was there on vacation and I remember enjoying them very much.

blood oranges are oranges that have a a reddish tint. You get them at certain times of the year and I think that they come from Spain. I like oranges that are different and unusal and these are oranges that meet this qualification. I think they are not available everywhere however.

The "blood" in blood orange only refers to the color. They are just like any other orange. They might be a little more bitter than regular oranges but they are still quite good. Give it a try!
