Citrus sinensis-Moro "Blood Orange Tree"

The blood orange is a variety of orange with crimson, almost blood coloured flesh, distinctive dark flesh colour is due to the presence of anthocyanins, a family of polyphenol pigments common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits. Chrysanthemin is the main compound found in red oranges. The flesh develops its characteristic maroon colour when the fruit develops with low temperatures during the night. Sometimes, dark colouring is seen on the exterior of the rind, as well depending on the variety of blood orange. The skin can be tougher and harder to peel than that of other oranges. Blood oranges have a unique flavour compared to other oranges, being distinctly raspberry-like in addition to the usual citrus notes. The anthocyanin pigments of blood oranges begin accumulating in the vesicles at the edges of the segments, and at the blossom end of the fruit, and continue accumulating in cold storage after harvest.
