Blood Orange, (on tin foil) 10x10 oil on canvas
An exotic
blood orange differs from a typical orange in color and taste. Some foodies describe the flavor of a
blood orange as having a subtle raspberry and/or strawberry taste along with being sweet and mellow. The exotic coloring comes from a pigment called
anthocyanin, which can be found in purple and red flowers besides other fruit.
Anthocyanin is supposed to have many health benefits. Red delicious apples owe their deep red exterior to the pigment, along with red wine. The color red reminds me of Valentine's Day, and since anthocyanin is good for the heart, (think of the red wine theory) it seems like a good reason to consume something red. So I found a recipe on Martha Stewart for a
blood orange cheese cake... now that would be a tasty treat for Valentine's Day.
