The Moro is the most colourful of the blood oranges, with a deep red flesh and a rind that has a bright red blush. The flavour is stronger and the aroma is more intense than a normal orange. This fruit has a distinct, sweet flavour with a hint of raspberry. All oranges contain carotene - that's what makes them orange. Moros get their red colour from high concentrations of a pigment called anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant that neutralises the effects of free radicals.
Juicy and sweet and renowned for its concentration of vitamin C, oranges make the perfect snack and add a special tang to many recipes; it is no wonder that they are one of the most popular fruits in the world. Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C, a very good source of dietary fibre and a good source of B vitamins, vitamin A, calcium and potassium.
