Sunny California and Arizona citrus groves are living up to their promise to deliver plenty of fresh citiHs fruit in time for the festivities! Produce departments in the local markets will have generous supplies of everyone's favorite eating orange, the Western-grown navel. And this is the season for all the special citrus varieties you have been waiting for: mandarins' and tangerines, Moros (or "blood oranges"), pummelos and the new grapefruit varieties Oroblancos and Melogolds. All these beautiful and nutritious citrus fruits are ideal for gift-giving, and essential for holiday cooking and baking recipes.
The Western-grown navel oranges are a must for any holiday fruit basket,
!' with their rich tradition in gift giving. This year, navel oranges will be sweet and flavorful for the holiday reason; their characteristic rich color develops as the nights cool. While this year’s
F crop is slightly smaller than last year's, more high quality fruit will be available to consumers, and there will be good supplies of the most popular sizes.
Oranges offer so much in addition to their refreshment and appetite appeal! Sunkist Growers is launching the "Just One" campaign to tell everyone about the array of health benefits found in oranges. Not everyone realizes that:
• Just One Sunkist Orange provides you with all the natural vitamin Oyou need each and every day ■- and a little extra.
• Just One Sunkist Orange contains folic acid that helps prevent birth defects and heart disease, dietary fiber that helps prevent some types of cancer, and calcium for building strong bones.
• Just One Sunkist Orange gives you a good start towards reaching your 5 A Day goals (Eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day for better health!).
Lemons are the most versatile of fruit, and can be used on everything from appetizers and salads to luscious holiday desserts. When you set your holiday table, remember to serve a lemon slice in each water glass for better flavor and eye appeal. If you have plans to roast a chicken or turkey, tucking one or two cut lemons in the cavity of the bird will help to keep it moist, and give it a subtle flavor as well. According to John Jones, the lemon varietal manager for Sunkist Growers, an ample supply of winter lemons will be coming in from California's central valley and the desert areas.
Eating quality is very good for grapefruit this holiday season. While sizes may be a little smaller than usual, the Ruby and Rio Red varieties will be beautifully colored with a pink blush. There are lots of ways to enjoy the refreshing flavor of grapefruit besides a cut half with breakfast. Be sure to include it in fruit salads, or on a bed of mixed greens. For an easy and elegant appetizer, toss in some grapefruit sections with a shrimp cocktail. Fresh grapefruit is a nutritional bargain — high in fiber, virtually no fat, a'nd plenty of vitamin C.
This is the season for Oroblancos and Melogolds, the mild, new grapefruit varieties with all the sweet, juicy flavor and less acidity. They can be, bright green when ripe, but will have a pale yellow tinge this time of year. They may not be easy to find, but are well worth the effort! The largest citrus fruit, Pummelos, will be ripe in time for the holidays. They are aromatic, sweet, and popular as a gift, especially in the Asian communities.
