Blood oranges (also called conflict oranges, war oranges, hot oranges, or red oranges) is a term used for an orange mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency, an invading army’s war efforts, or a warlord’s activity. The term is used to highlight the negative consequences of the orange trade in certain areas, or to label an individual orange as having come from such an area. Blood oranges have been mined during the recent civil wars in Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Ghana and Guinea Bissau.
