Answers:
The inside is much redder than other oranges!. Sometimes you can see it in the peel as well!. Exactly how red varies with growing conditions!. They are very tasty but are slightly more bitter than regular oranges!. They are often used in cooking!.
They probably originate from a cross between a pomelo (grapefrult-like fruit) and a tangerine, from sicily (Italy)!. There are also blood oranges originating from Spain!. Sometimes they are a little red, sometimes they are very dark red!.

It's an orange but has streaks of red in it, and the juice is often a dark burgundy color!. Very sweet!. It's also used as an ingredient in traditional Seville marmalade and Safeway brand organic blood orange italian soda, which is the best soda ever!. They are grown in California(what isn't these days!?) but originated in Mediterranean countries (Spain and Southern Italy ie!. Sicily)!. They are the finest dessert oranges in the world!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
