The blood orange is a seasonal favorite. The deep red flesh is where this orange gets its name. Chef Dan says it has a taste that is "slightly bitter and slightly acidic, but with nice raspberry undertones." The glorious color really makes a great menu addition, whether it is for segments for salads or savory dishes, or as juice for mixology applications.

Don't forget to add some blood oranges to your next order!

This month we are talking about all things citrus! 🍋 🍊 Citrus is anything but basic when used in the kitchen. It can be used all over the menu…use it in pastry with the zest and the juice, use it in the bar, use it in gift baskets, even use the segments in a salad. Adding a pop of citrus juice also brightens many a dish.

One question that comes up is: what's the difference between California and Florida citrus? Find out that and more in Produce 101: Citrus. 🍋 🍊
