i had a blood orange for the first time today. its got a grapefruit/raspberry like scent, slightly bitter aftertaste but still mildly sweet too. it was very aromatic, the second i started peeling i could smell it. def not like a regular orange, the dark wine colored fruit really appeases my aesthetic. i wouldnt say its blood red tho, its too purpleish, the peel was def blood red tho with some orange undertones. i found the skin to be much thicker than a regular orange as well. i felt very fancy while eating it. tbh i have no idea how long it was sitting in my fridge, i thought it was an apple at first. i think the fruit was kinda dry from having to sit in there for a while unless blood oranges are supposed to be not as juicy. it has a pigment anthocyanin which is a type of antioxidant, those are very abundant in citrus fruit. antioxidants help to reduce free radicals, supposedly decreasing the chance that cells become cancerous.
(disclaimer: i am not any sort of professional at this i just like food)
