A
dd a bowl of citrus to your table
in the winter and the smell and
color of the zesty fruit might just
transport you (mentally) to a place
of warmth and sunshine. Eat it and your
body will benefit from all of the vitamins
and fiber the fruit contains.
We are fortunate to have vitamin-rich
citrus fruits close at hand, especially in the
winter, and many are available year-round.
From oranges, grapefruits, clementines,
lemons and limes to the lesser-known
pomelos and seedless lemons, there are
more than 100 varieties of citrus.
Pomelos, the largest citrus at almost 10
inches wide, taste like a sweet version of their
grapefruit cousin and are eaten similarly.
Kumquats, the smallest citrus, averaging
1 inch in diameter, are enjoyed with or without the peel, roasted or in marmalades.
“Citrus is a great addition to just about
any recipe,” says Christina Ward, senior director of global marketing at Sunkist, a longtime
supplier for Costco. “Citrus can be used fresh,
baked, grilled, roasted, sautéed or juiced.
A trend we’re seeing is that citrus is being
used to add flavor to coffee. Another unique
way to use citrus is to use the whole fruit.
From candied peels to juice to zest to segments, the ways to enjoy citrus are endless.”
Candied peels, which can be made from
a variety of citrus, such as oranges, lemons,
grapefruits and, especially, easy-to-peel
clementines, can be eaten out of hand,
used in baking or as a garnish in drinks.
