In Season: Blood Orange


A sweet alternative to better known oranges, this fruit is believed to be the result of a natural mutation of a sweet orange. The flesh of a blood orange is brilliantly dark pink, maroon, or even dark blood red (hence, the name). The fruit has raspberry edge to its flavor.

The red color ceom from anthocyanin, which develops when the citrus fruit ripens during warm days tempered by cooler nights. Anthocyanin is an antioxidant, and starts to develop along the edges of the peel and then follows the edges of the segments before moving into the flesh of the orange, so blood oranges can be lined or streaked when they were harvested.

First grown in Sicily, Italy, blood oranges are now harvested in Texas and California.

Blueberries Are In Season

Popular in the U.S., blueberries rank second only to strawberries in annual berry consumption.
And among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings common to the American diet, blueberries rank among the highest in antioxidants, which optimize healthy bodies by combating the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA.

Research on blueberries suggests benefits for the nervous system and brain health as well as improved memory.

Eating raw blueberries, rather than eating them incorporated into baked desserts, provides the greatest nutritional benefits.
