Blood Oranges

Blood oranges get their name from their
deep red flesh. They get their color from
anthocyanin, an antioxidant that is also
found in other red fruits and vegetables.

Eating fruits and vegetables with
antioxidants may help protect your cells
from damage.

Some blood oranges come from
California, but most are grown in
Mediterranean countries, like Italy.

When buying blood oranges, look for
ones that are heavy for their size and do
not have soft spots.

Blood oranges have a lot of vitamin C.
Vitamin C can help protect against
sickness and infections.
