blood orange.

 this looks like any old orange, right? well yes, from the outside it does. but once you cut open that orange, citrusey flesh, the inside will surprise you with a crimson red vibrancy. that is because this isn't any old orange, it is a blood orange. mason got a bag full of these from his mother and forced me to try one. i have had blood orange flavored drinks or food before but never a ripe, real orange. needless to say, i was quite excited for this because i love trying new things. 

once it was cut open i had to take a second to stare at how pretty it is. blood oranges are smaller than an average orange. this crimson flesh develops its maroon color when the fruit grows with low temperature during the night. first and foremost, shout out to pamella for new, interesting, healthy & delicious options! second, everyone should go try one & share them with your friends. i have now found my new favorite orange.
