Blood oranges are often considered to be among the finest dessert oranges in the world.
Taste-wise, they are tart-sweet and slightly berry-like. The blood orange has about 70 calories per fruit. They are rich in antioxidants, keeping cells healthy, and are also a good source of fiber. Blood oranges cultivated in the United States are in season from December to March {Texas) and from November to May (California).
