Week 6: Fruitful Eating
9 Weeks of Tips for 2009
Enjoying Winter Fruit
Give yourself a boost from the cold, grey weather by filling up the fruit bowl. It’s hard to believe, but many of the brightest-tasting, most healthful fruits are in season during winter. Some of them come from warm-weather states, while others are harvested in tropical climes abroad.
Vitamin Rich Delights
Sun-drenched, juicy oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes are at their peak right now. Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C and potassium. They also contain good amounts of vitamin A and fiber, as well as health-promoting antioxidants. All that vitamin C can help your body fight bugs during the cold and flu season.
Take a Tour!
Winter is also the time of year to enjoy bananas, pomegranates, kiwi fruit and star fruit, all plentiful in vitamins and other nutrients. Take a tour of the citrus grove and get palate-warming cooking ideas.
