Heal With A Serving Of Citrus

The healing benefits from citrus consumption are a direct result of specific vitamin content, complements of individual natural plant biochemicals (‘phytochemicals’), minerals, and essential nutrients found in the juice, pulp and even sometimes in the peel of citrus fruits.  Citrus is commonly recognized as a good source of vitamin C; however, citrus fruits also contain an impressive list of essential nutrients including both glycemic and non-glycemic carbohydrates (sugars and fiber), potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B, magnesium, copper, and riboflavin.
