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.

10 pound Quantities (which is approximately 28-40 pieces per box).
