Sicilian Red oranges deliver more than instant gratification in the form of flavor and sweetness. They also contain nutritional and preventive properties. Realizing the health-related benefits, growers incorporated blood oranges into their home remedies for centuries. Current research indicates that blood oranges are a good source of Vitamin C. The fruit's red pigment, anthocyanin, is an antioxidant known to reduce the risks associated with many ailments, including age-related illness.
Blood oranges in general contain about 130 percent of the recommented amounts of Vitamin C. Recent research shows signs of Vitamin C being effective in diminishing the risk of heart disease, some types of cancer and "bad" cholesterol build-up. It may also reduce the risk of cataracts, and aid in the body's overall natural healing process.
One medium-size orange contains 260 milligrams of potassium, which is 15 percent of the FDA's daily recommendation. Potassium also plays a key role in lowering blood pressure, thereby decreasing the risk of both heart attacks and strokes. It also helps to regulate heart rhythm, and it provides energy-a key ingredient for body growth and maintenance.
Eating a medium-sized orange provides 28 percent of the recommended daily value of dietary fiber. Oranges provide more fiber than any of the top 20 fruits or vegetables consumed today. Soluble dietary fiber may also help lower cholesterol, and protect against colon cancer.
Oranges are also a source of Iron, Calcium and Vitamin A.

Good source of vitamin c and fibre (so long as you're eating the whole fruit rather than the juice alone). Depending on the size of the orange they usually have about 65 calories...
