Blood oranges
Greece
Organic
Available for pre-order from: Autumn
These blood oranges of the Moro variety have a reddish peel and deep red flesh. The fruits work well both for juicing and eating fresh. However, they taste sourer than our blond oranges. Farmer Christos Saltos grows them on about 10 hectares in the Greek district of Aetolia-Acarnania.

Stored in a cool place, oranges will keep for about four weeks. If you store the fruit on the balcony or on the terrace, protect it from frost with a blanket or in a polystyrene box. Check your oranges for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Eat these ones first. If you find mould, remove the affected fruit.
CHRISTOS SALTOS
FARMER FROM MASTRO, GREECE
Nature gives me a feeling of freedom.
Traoré Ouo lives with her husband and four children in the village of Toussiana. "In addition to mangos and cashew nuts, we grow maize and sell it on the local market. It's especially important for me to be able to send my children to school," says the farmer. "Three of my children are still in school and my eldest son already has a job, so they can't help us with the work in the fields. That's why everyone in the neighbourhood supports each other."
