  • 1 medium blood orange contains:
    • ¼ to ⅓ cup of juice
    • 2-3 Tbs of zest
    • 10 segments
  • They are about 10% sugar by weight (for comparison, an apple is 10%, grapes 16%, and lemons 2%)
  • They have more antioxidants than other oranges, thanks to the compounds that make their flesh darker
  • The peel also has antioxidants, making the zest healthy as well
