Where can I find blood oranges -or- blood orange juice?

I've tried Ralphs, Stater Bros, Albertsons, and Vons. Are blood oranges even out right now? I just need the juice. Any suggestions? :)

    Wrong season. Juice them yourself, citrus juice turns really fast.

      You're on the cusp of the wrong end of the season for blood oranges. The season usually starts around Nov-Dec, and goes until around May/June. Wait another month to six weeks and you should start seeing them at the local Farmers Markets. A sure sign that they're plentiful will be when you start seeing blood orange juice sold in containers at places like Trader Joe's.

        Not in season until winter. Perhaps orange juice with red dye?
        Well, I wouldn't do it either. Good-luck.

          True. I've got a tree and they're not remotely ripe and, given that it's still hot in Oct., they may not be until even later this year.

          Once in a while, I've seen blood orange juice at Whole Foods. Don't know if it's in stock now.
