The darker the flesh of citrus is, the sweet it seems to be. Star Ruby grapefruit are are great, too.

In the 17th century, when blood oranges popped up in Sicily, they were thought to come from poisoned trees. Instead they are the product of a natural mutation. The red color comes from anthocyanins, which give cherries and apples their red color. But the Sicilians, then under Arab control, thought they were harmful and avoided eating them for nearly half a century.
The Sicilians were not under Arab control in the 17th century. The Arabs left in the eleventh century.

Love those. The ones we get here are of course from California. But the original was a mutation, a single tree in Sicily about 200 years ago.
