Daily Email

An excerpt from an email I subsribe to:

You might crave fresh-squeezed orange juice (or chocolate-covered orange peels) in the winter months. It makes sense that your body would want to boost its vitamin C stores during cold and flu season - so when you crave something healthy, obey your body.

Here are some vitamin C-rich foods that are in season right now:
  • Broccoli
  • Artichokes
  • Avocado
  • Cabbage (super easy to find in Poland :-P)
  • Cauliflower
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Celery
  • Carrots
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Winter squash
  • Beets (another easy one now ;) )
And don’t forget to load up on seasonal fruits like these:
  • Oranges
  • Grapefruits
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Pomegranates
  • Persimmons
  • Berries

Oooo, orange-y. ;)
