Description
🛍 Product Information (Main) (English)：
Binomial Name：Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck.
Chinese Name：血橙
Other Names：Blood Orange
Product Description：The distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanins, a family of polyphenol pigments common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits.[1] Chrysanthemin (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside) is the main compound found in red oranges. The flesh develops its characteristic red color when the fruit develops with low temperatures.
The three most common types of blood oranges:
Moro
Immature 'Moro' blood orange fruit – 7 months from flowering
The Moro is the most colorful of the blood oranges, with a deep red flesh and a rind with a bright red blush. The flavor is stronger and the aroma is more intense than a normal orange. This fruit has a distinct, sweet flavor with a hint of raspberry. This orange possesses a more bitter taste than the 'Tarocco' or the 'Sanguinello'. The 'Moro' variety is believed to have originated at the beginning of the 19th century in the citrus-growing area around Lentini (in the Province of Syracuse in Sicily, Italy) as a bud mutation of the ""Sanguinello Moscato"". The 'Moro' is a ""deep blood orange"", meaning that the flesh ranges from orange-veined with ruby coloration, to vermilion, to vivid crimson, to nearly black.
Tarocco
The name Tarocco is thought to be derived from an exclamation of wonder expressed by the farmer who was shown this fruit by its discoverer. It is a medium-sized fruit and is perhaps the sweetest and most flavorful of the three types. The most popular table orange in Italy, it is thought to have derived from a mutation of the 'Sanguinello'. It is referred to as ""half-blood"", because the flesh is not accentuated in red pigmentation as much as with the 'Moro' and 'Sanguinello' varieties. It has thin orange skin, slightly blushed in red tones. The 'Tarocco' is one of the world's most popular oranges because of its sweetness (Brix to acid ratio is generally above 12.0) and juiciness. It has the highest vitamin C content of any orange variety grown in the world, mainly on account of the fertile soil surrounding Mount Etna, and it is easy to peel. The 'Tarocco' orange is seedless.
The University of California, Riverside Citrus Variety Collection has delineated three subcultivars of 'Tarocco'. The 'Bream Tarocco', which was originally donated by Robert Bream of Lindsay, California, is of medium to large fruit with few to no seeds. 'Tarocco #7', or 'CRC 3596 Tarocco', is known for its flavor, but has a rind with little to no coloration. The 'Thermal Tarocco' was donated by A. Newcomb of Thermal Plaza Nursery in Thermal, California.
Sanguinello

The Sanguinello /sæŋɡwɪˈnɛloʊ/, also called 'Sanguinelli' in the US (the plural form of its name in Italian), discovered in Spain in 1929, has a reddish skin, few seeds, and a sweet and tender flesh. 'Sanguinello', the Sicilian late ""full-blood"" orange, is close in characteristics to the 'Moro'. Where grown in the Northern Hemisphere, it matures in February, but can remain on trees unharvested until April. Fruit can last until the end of May. The peel is compact, and clear yellow with a red tinge. The flesh is orange with multiple blood-colored streaks.

Affordable: 1. Orange and mayonnaise: The vitamin C in orange matches the vitamin E in mayonnaise, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation, skin care, anti-aging and anti-cancer. 2. Orange and cream: Cream contains high cholesterol, while orange contains a lot of cellulose that can remove cholesterol, which helps reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Compatibility: 1. Orange and shrimp: When the calcium contained in the shrimp and the tannin in the orange are eaten before and after, they will combine into substances that are not easily digested, which will easily stimulate the stomach and cause vomiting and other symptoms. 2. Oranges and pork: The protein in pork combines with the tannins of oranges to form a precipitate, which is not conducive to human digestion. Eating a large amount may cause nausea and abdominal pain. More importantly, it affects the absorption of protein components by the human body. 3. Oranges and Crabs: Crabs are cold and cool things. If they are paired with oranges that have the characteristics of gathering dampness and producing phlegm, it will easily lead to stagnation of Qi and accumulation of phlegm, which will affect health.
