Moro Blood Oranges… The “Blood” orange is one of the most colorful varieties in the world of Specialty Citrus products. They are the earliest ripening and darkest of the blood oranges. The fruit is generally smaller than an average orange. The outer rind of the blood orange is usually somewhat pitted in texture. Bloods are also one of the most “under used” pieces of fruit in the world of citrus. Try using blood oranges in a “Sangria” drink. Use both some of the juice from the bloods and cut them into thin slices (along with slices of lime) to “float” along the top of the Sangria bowl as a colorful and spectacular garnish. You could also replace regular orange juice for Blood Orange juice in an orange cake recipe and use slices of the blood orange to decorate the top, for a bold and exciting twist! If you can dream up a recipe with oranges and orange juice, why not add some “drama” to the mix and see what you can create. Besides, when cooking from the heart with blood oranges, there is never the risk of your efforts ever being…in “vein”! Did you know…? The blood orange is often (and incorrectly) described as a hybrid between a pomelo and a tangerine or other citrus, but it is merely just a genetic mutation of a sweet orange. The distinctive dark flesh color of blood oranges are due to the presence of the pigment anthocyanin, this pigment is common to many fruit and flower varieties, but uncommon in citrus, however obviously not to blood oranges.

When are Moro Bloods available? Bloods have a rather short harvesting season. They are typically available from January thru March. Due to the small availability and short season, annual market pricing will also vary from season to season.

Sanguinelli Bloods

Sanguinelli Blood Oranges from Pearson Ranch! Although some people believe that most blood oranges are from Italian origins, however, the Sanguinelli also called a “Sanguinello” was first discovered in SPAIN back in 1929… “Mama Mia”! This late ripening blood orange has more of an oval shape than do Moro Bloods, but have an equally delicious “citrusy” flavor with berrylike overtones.

So what to do with Sanguinelli Blood Oranges? Here’s where your use of them is only limited by your culinary imagination. Try them in your new favorite marmalade recipe and add a real splash of color, or how about in a vinaigrette to get your guests or family talking…and don’t forget desert, blood orange cake topped with blood orange segments, yum-o! So now that you know where to get them, why not order a box, and let’s get cooking.

Did you know…?

The dark red color of the juice they produce has something in common with a totally different fruit that you wouldn’t be quick to guess. If the juice color looks familiar to that of a pomegranate, it’s because they both have the same compound anthocyanin which gives them that dramatic red color.

The blood orange is often (and incorrectly) described as a hybrid between a pomelo and a tangerine or other citrus, but it is merely just a genetic mutation of a sweet orange.

When are Sanguinelli Bloods available?

Bloods have a rather short harvesting season. They are typically available beginning EARLY SPRING. Due to the small availability and short season, annual market pricing will also vary from season to season.

Mandarins are mainly seedless and sweet and a part of the “easy peeler” family of citrus. Mandarins are distinguished by their “puffy” and loose outer peel that makes them a breeze for anyone to peel. Top that off with their delightful fragrance and sweet, delicious, juicy citrus flavor, and you have quite a popular and wonderful healthful snack for everyone! Both low in acid and high in sugar makes them ideal for use in the kitchen too. Try making your own Mandarin marmalade or jelly for your morning toast or how about peeling and sectioning one up and tossing them into a salad with a nice balsamic or rice wine vinegar for a dramatic “balance” of sweet and sour flavor. No matter how you use this delicious citrus, these little cuties are sure to please!

When are Mandarins available? Our Mandarins are typically available from November thru June. Due to their limited quantities and short season, annual market pricing will also vary from season to season.
