Benefits of Citrus

It's January and the sneezing, coughing and runny noses are all around us. My advice, short of hibernation, is too wash your hands frequently and eat more fresh fruit. Sending one our fruit baskets to a sick friend will do more than just brighten their day.

For instance, citrus fruits are not only low in calories they are rich sources of vitamins and minerals.

While oranges and red and pink grapefruit are all excellent sources of vitamin C, they are also a good source of vitamins A, B1 and B5. Grapefruits and oranges are also good sources of folate and potassium.

It’s recommended to eat your fruit fresh, in frozen or juice form rather than using them in cooking and baking. Remember that citrus fruits lose much of their nutrients when subjected to heat 350 degrees Fahrenheit and above.

Remember, delivery is free thoughout most of Savannah and surrounding neighborhoods.  Baskets start at $35 for approximately 12 lbs. of fresh, seasonal fruit sprinkled throughout with wagon wheel mints; all packaged in a vertical display and topped off with a beautiful two toned sateen bow.
