blood oranges
The facts, the figures, and all the juicy details...
Blood Oranges are commonly cultivated in the Mediterranean area, especially in Italy, and also in Pakistan. They are grown very little in Florida where the red coloration rarely develops except during periods of cold weather. In California they are grown only as novelties. Among the well-known cultivars in this group are 'Egyptian', which tends to develop a small navel; 'Maltese', 'Ruby', and 'St. Michael'.
