Is a blood orange a grapefruit?
No. Blood Oranges taste like oranges, but have red pulp and juice. Grapefruit can have pale, pink, or red pulp, but are generally less sweet and more bitter than oranges are.It's a little complicated because citrus fruit in general are almost all hybrids. There are usually considered to be about four ur-citrus species, all of which can hybridize with the others (and then the hybrids can hybridize with the original species or with other hybrids ... it's messy).Grapefruits are a hybrid between Citrus maxima (pomelo) and Citrus x sinensis (sweet orange). Sweet oranges themselves are probably a hybrid of Citrus maxima and Citrus reticulata (mandarin oranges). The blood orange is a particular cultivar of the sweet orange.

Why is oranges called blood oranges?
Blood orange juice is a type of fruit juice made from blood oranges (Citrus sinensis). Blood oranges are a unique variety of oranges with a deep red or crimson-colored flesh, which sets them apart from regular oranges that have a typical orange color. The red color of the flesh comes from the presence of a pigment called anthocyanin. The juice extracted from blood oranges has a distinct and vibrant red hue, which can range from a deep red to a light pinkish color. It is slightly sweeter and less acidic than juice from regular oranges, with a unique flavor that can be described as a combination of citrusy and berry-like notes. Blood orange juice is commonly consumed as a refreshing and flavorful beverage on its own, or it can be used as an ingredient in various culinary applications. It is often used in cocktails, smoothies, sorbets, desserts, and as a flavor enhancer in sauces or dressings. Apart from being delicious and visually appealing, blood orange juice, like other citrus juices, is a good source of vitamin C and other essential nutrients, providing health benefits such as boosting the immune system and promoting overall well-being
