Oranges, tangelos, grapefruit, Clementines, tangerines, navels…the list goes on and on. Learn your favorites by tasting everything and also learn how to select & store citrus. Then, never be without them this winter. Why? Here’s why…
Cheap, plentiful, flavorful are 3 top reasons to go for citrus fruits this winter. The 4th reason is vitamin C, (aka ascorbic acid) for which citrus is a nutritional hero. Vitamin C can help you recover quicker from a cold or the flu, strengthen your immune system, help reduce inflammation, contribute to healthy weight loss and keep your skin looking younger — really!
I just enjoyed 2 of the sweetest, juiciest Florida tangelos that I’ve eaten in years. They were part of a bulk, mesh bag of 13, average size tangelos and I paid $3.99 for the bag. That’s about 30 cents a piece. Seeds? None. I was surprised about that, too. If a few seeds pop up as I work my way through the bag — the price, flavor and nutrition will be well worth it!
