This uniform Nantes type is blood orange right to the core—the red hue means it is rich in the natural antioxidant lycopene. The texture is crunchy, and flavour is sweet but mellow, comparable to orange varieties.
Add to meals for a boost of nutrition! Best grown for fall harvest as flavour is best when allowed to mature in cooler conditions.
