What is said to help the body in many ways, including helping to heal wounds, boosting the immune system, and keeping the ravages of scurvy at bay? Citrus.
This is just to name a few of its benefits!
And this is just from the vitamin C citrus fruits offer!
Never mind all the blessings of bioflavonoids, including promoting circulation, reducing pain of bumps and bruises, strengthening capillaries, reducing cholesterol levels, treating and preventing cataracts, and reducing oral herpes symptoms. Bioflavonoids are found in the white material left on the skin after you peel.
Citrus fruits also contain Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium, as well as other stuff, I'm sure.
This is pointing to the fact that citrus fruits, in all their selfpackaged glory, are really good for you.
With all the colds and flu flying around this time of year, it's almost perfect to have citrus season in full swing.Hot soup and cool citrus.
The Co-op produce department has a beautiful selection of citrus.
The display cases are heavy with organic oranges, tangerines, tangelos, mandarins, pummelos, grapefruit, lemons, limes, kumquats and more.
Some are seedless. Some are snack-size; some are bigger than you'd think. Juice them, or just peel and eat.
Citrus fruits are sweeter at room temperature. Delicious!
If you're curious about a specific fruit, ask to taste one.
Say goodbye to scurvy for-ever and stay healthy this cold and flu season with citrus!
