Honeybell Oranges Might Be the Perfect Food
How much fruit do you eat in your daily life? As you may already know, most medical professionals and health researchers recommend no less than three or four servings per day of fresh, wholesome citrus fruits. Citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines are often rightly called “nature’s health food store” because they pack so many important vitamins, minerals, and other essential daily nutrients into the same delicious package.
Here Come the Honeybells
Possibly the most exciting form of citrus fruit, and probably the most in demand, is the Honeybell orange, sometimes referred to as the Minneola Tangelo. The Honeybell is an exciting hybrid blend of the Duncan grapefruit and the Fancy tangerine, marked by its ruddy orange color and small bell-shaped protuberance on one end.
Even though the Honeybell isn’t technically an orange at all the distinctive deep orange color of the fruit and its origins deep in the Florida citrus country have made it one of the most popular hybrid fruits ever created. Honeybell oranges also have a very short peak season, lasting just a few weeks in December and January, making their demand that much greater. Many online fruit basket websites sell Honeybells during this peak season as well as around the holidays, helping everyone experience their great citrus flavor. But make sure that you order Honeybells early, because some growers sell out their entire Honeybell crop a year in advance.
The Nutritious Power of Honeybell Oranges
Like the orange itself, the Honeybell is packed with nutritious vitamins, minerals, and other daily nutritional requirements. The Honeybell is a great source of Vitamin C, a proven agent against illness and infection from viruses and bacteria. A single Honeybell orange contains almost the entire recommended daily dose of vitamin C. They also carry a sizeable dosage of fiber, which the body uses to maintain digestive and regulatory health and hygiene.
Honeybells are Juicy and Delicious
One of the most amazing features of the Honeybell is its incredibly juicy contents. Some Honeybell enthusiasts joke that you need a tall glass to catch all of its delicious, sweet but tangy juice. The pulp inside is soft and chewable, too, while the rind is famous for its easy to peel consistency. Honeybells are available in baskets and other design motifs by many online boutiques. Remember to allow time for delivery during the busy holiday season, and to expect possible back orders on Honeybell assortments.
