What are Sanguine Oranges?
Blood oranges, or ‘sanguines’, are a variety of orange characterised by their dark red flesh, the result of the presence of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant. These oranges originate from Sicily, Italy, and their harvesting season extends from December to April, making them a perfect choice to enjoy during the cooler months of the year.
Nutritional Properties
Blood oranges are not only delicious, they are also packed with health benefits. Here are some of their most outstanding properties:
- Rich in Antioxidants: Thanks to their anthocyanin content, blood oranges help fight oxidative stress in the body, protecting our cells and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
- High in Vitamin C: Like other varieties of oranges, they are an excellent source of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, promotes skin health and aids in iron absorption.
- Low Calorie: They are a healthy option for those seeking to maintain a balanced weight, as they are low in calories and rich in fibre, which promotes satiety.
- Cardiovascular Benefits: The antioxidants in blood oranges may contribute to heart health by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
