Navel Oranges are in Season
I am seeing Organic Navel Oranges on sale at nearly every store for just $0.99 a lb.
So don't pay more than that!
The few I've gotten recently have been delicious. They are in season, which means not only do they have more flavor, but they have more nutrients.
Do your best to buy local, as the flavor and health benefits are greater the shorter amount of time they spend in a delivery truck.
Navel oranges contain:
Vitamin C
Fiber
Beta Carotene
Calcium
B 6
Potassium
Magnesium
These nutrients and vitamins boost the immune system, promote healing, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, boost production of hemoglobin in the blood stream, prevent cancer, help the body absorb iron, and help build strong healthy bones.
Who knew an orange packed such a punch!
Did you know the Navel Orange is actually a 200 year old clone?
