About Blood orange mimosa
A Blood Orange Mimosa is a citrus-based beverage blending sparkling wine or champagne with the juice of blood oranges, a fruit known for its deep red flesh and tangy-sweet flavor. Originally popularized in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italy and Spain where blood oranges thrive, it has become a brunch staple globally. Blood oranges are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and anthocyanins, contributing to their vibrant color. When paired with sparkling wine, the drink is low in fat but contains natural sugars and varies in alcohol content depending on the wine used. A standard serving (120-150 ml) offers around 60-80 calories, depending on proportions.
Health Benefits
- Rich in vitamin C (approximately 70 mg per 100 g of blood orange), boosting immune function and skin health.
- Contains anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health.
- Supplies folate (about 30 mcg per 100 g of blood orange), which aids in red blood cell production and supports fetal development during pregnancy.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store whole blood oranges in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Juice freshly squeezed blood oranges shortly before making the mimosa for maximum flavor and nutrient retention.
