Pick of the Week - Blood Oranges

Bowl of cut open blood oranges and a wooden juicer in front of it.

"The Australian blood orange season is underway again. Blood oranges are the only citrus that we don't import or only import minimal quantities in their off season, as the fruit just does not stand up to long boat trips. So, it's really only Aussie bloods that we consume and the season is very short, from late July or early August to early October. We are now exporting to near countries, and our fruit is regarded as the world's best.I love a blood orange juice to start my day, but they are also fabulous in salads, desserts, cocktails, cakes and of course just to munch on. They are not sweet like navels but more a sweet-tart taste that has berry-like characteristics. The red colour is a result of a natural pigment called anthocyanin - common in purple and red fruits and some flowers and trees, but not usually found in oranges.This season is running a little late due to late costs last spring and a higher-than-normal export demand early in the season. The drought has meant this year’s crop is mostly small fruit, but it is eating fantastically. The next week or two will see the fruit at its absolute best! " - David Harris
