Vanigila Sanguigino Blood Orange
Grower: Tom King Farms

Description: Vanilla Blood oranges are medium-sized with a pinkish-orange rind. Its skin is thin with a pink albedo, or inner rind. The juicy flesh of the Vanilla Blood oranges has a pinkish hue that extends into the center of the citrus. The color comes from a carotenoid called lycopene (a natural pigment found in plants) which also gives color to Cara Cara oranges and Ruby red grapefruit. There are quite a few seeds per each section. Vanilla Blood oranges are sweet with no acidity, and a slight amount of bitterness. There is a faint vanilla flavor and aroma.
