On sale this week (2/4-2/10): Organic Blood Oranges and Navel Oranges 2 for $3!
Everyone looks forward to citrus season- it’s the transition from the cold, frigid months to the beautiful spring weather. Winter was the season of root vegetables and hot soup, but now we can brighten up our plates with some juicy citrus! When someone says citrus, most people instantly think about bright, plump oranges packed with vitamin C.
We carry many varieties of citrus, but not all are available at one time. Some varieties that we carry are Cara Cara Oranges, Navel Oranges, Blood Oranges, Minneola Tangelos, Mandarins, Grapefruit, Clementines, Satsuma Mandarins, and Valencia Oranges. Not only are there so many different types but there are numerous benefits and uses of citrus too!
1. Immunity: citrus is packed with Vitamin C which helps boost your immune system to fight colds and support your quest to breathe freely.
2. Mood: with awakening scents, taste, and color, it is known to help improve your mood and help you come out of your shell.
3. Skin Appearance: antioxidant properties help cleanse and brighten your skin.
1. Beauty: aromatherapy to help boost your mood and purify the air, and skin care to help brighten and cleanse your skin.
2. Nutritional: can be used for dressings and juices, sliced or dried for a quick snack, or even as a garnish and zest!
With the spring season upon us, make sure you stop by your local Basil Bandwagon Natural Market and stock up on all the citrus we have this season!
