Fruit is an important staple of a healthy diet and citrus fruit is no exception. Citrus fruit provide a diversity of important nutrients including essential minerals, vitamins (most notably Vitamin C), and antioxidants such as flavonoids.
I love to use citrus in my cooking and baking because of its multifaceted flavor “palette”: from sour, to tart, to astringent, to sweet and even to bitter in the case of grapefruit. Citrus encompasses such a diversity of flavors and opens up a whole array of delightful recipes! Nothing like the freshness of citrus to accent any dish beautifully!
