So I just bought a bunch of oranges yesterday. This morning I cut one open and I see this? Apparently they are "blood oranges". Are these things okay to eat, and do they taste normal?

I'm kind of scared to eat it since I definitely purchased regular South African oranges... and the colour looks like some homeless dude took a syringe and injected his blood into it..

They're fine to eat. They're a little sweeter than regular oranges though.

Blood is blood so feast on it before the day comes around and you must sleep.

Your picture they don't look red enough to be a blood orange...could be the camera though

Yeah, it didn't look dark-red enough to be a blood orange. It also tasted the exact same as a normal orange, which makes this whole thing slightly weirder.

It was an illegitimate child of a blood orange and a Florida orange.
