Blood Orange Flavors

The Food Lover's Companion describes blood orange as "grown primarily around the Mediterranean and now California, this sweet-tart orange has a bright red or red-streaked white flesh." Indeed, the use of blood orange flavors in new product launches has grown considerably in food and beverage products. Analysis of Mintel's Global New Products Database shows US food and beverage launches with a blood orange flavor increased 76% from 2005 to 2010.
