Blood Oranges

I am a frequent flyer of Pinkberry ever since it swirled into Nashville this past fall. I usually go on my days off after the gym, I consider it a healthy snack even though I sometimes add chocolate crisps, brownies bites, graham crackers, waffle cones, cheesecake bites (they keep them hidden under the counter, just ask for it!) and sometimes the swirly-whip. Logically the pomegranate seeds, blackberries, granola, pineapple that I'll get cancel those bad ones out. I have tried the original, chocolate, pomegranate, pumpkin, coconut and blood orange. The blood orange was something I had never heard of before and thought it would be no different than a regular orange, I was wrong, it was better.

Another Whole Foods Adventure (WFA is what it will now be abbreviated to because typing it is too long), brought me to the orange section where there was blood oranges, so I grabbed a couple of them. I wasn't sure how to eat them, if they would peel off like a navel orange, if they had seeds, or how much blood would flow when I cut into it.

Overall, the blood orange did not have seeds, the rind does peel away like a navel orange, and only a little blood spilled (CAUTION - the dark blood stains). The flavor is juicier and not tart like an orange can be, like I said, it's better than a real orange.
