Yuyuyu Blood Orange

　　The Chongqing Bishan County Yuyuyu Blood Orange Planting Joint Stock Cooperative is located in Yuejin Village, Qitang Town, Bishan County, Chongqing, 30 kilometers from the county town and 10 kilometers from the Chongqing-Suining Expressway, offering very convenient transportation.

　　Established in April 2008, the cooperative mainly engages in the cultivation of Tarocco blood oranges. In December 2008, it was certified as a pollution-free product by the Chongqing Agricultural Products Safety Center, and in 2012 applied for green food certification, passing the inspection by the Product Quality and Safety Center of the Ministry of Agriculture (Chongqing).

　　The Yuyuyu blood orange is a newly bred variety selected from the late-maturing citrus Tarocco blood orange series. This variety features large fruit size, sweet taste, and seedlessness; the fruit has an orange-red color and is exceptionally smooth, with deep-colored flesh that is entirely dark purple-red, crisp, tender, juicy, and pleasantly sweet and sour, exuding a strong rose fragrance. The fruit is rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which help prevent cardiovascular diseases and inhibit the occurrence of cancer.
