citrus IN SEASON Bursting with nutrients
l One medium orange has a day’s worth of vitamin C, but that’s not all. Citrus fruits are also a good source of soluble fiber and contain folate and potassium.
l Lemons, limes, and grapefruits add a more tart version of the same nutrients, so look for ways to squeeze the most out of them.
Take your pick
l The best fruit is firm and heavy, with a shiny and blemish-free rind.
l Store fruit on the counter for up to a week or in the fridge for two weeks.
l Too many on hand? Slice and add to your water glass. Just be sure to wash fruits before cutting or zesting.
Appeal for days
l The best part of citrus fruits is their easy peel-and-eat design, but don’t stop there. Use the fruit, juice, or zest in drinks, dressings, meat or seafood dishes, and desserts.
l Lemon juice is a surprisingly satisfying alternative to salt, and orange or grapefruit segments make a sunny addition to a spinach salad.
and limes are at their peak right now. Enjoy them in pasta, a veggie side, and a refreshing drink.
