Kids Love Honeybells
Honeybells are one of kids favorite citrus fruits. Honeybells are popular with kids because they are small and easy for kids to hold by themselves. Unlike a heavy round orange or a ponderous grapefruit a Honeybell is about the size of a tangerine and fits nicely into little hands. The pebbly raised skin on the outside of the Honeybell is also easier for kids to hold than a regular orange or grapefruit, so that kids have an easier time peeling the fruit.
Honeybells typically have a very loose peel that even weak hands can easily peel so kids can peel Honeybells all by themselves. Little kids especially love to feel independent and love to perform everyday tasks by themselves so being able to peel and eat a delicious Honeybell is a great treat for them. The super sweet taste is as good as candy to children, but parents can be happy that the fruit is a lot healthier than candy.
Parents can feel good about giving kids Honeybells because Honeybell fruit is packed with the nutrients that kids need. Eating just one Honeybell per day gives kids almost all of the Vitamin C that they need to stay healthy. During the winter cold and flu season giving kids an extra boost of Vitamin C is a great way to make sure that they don’t catch the many different types of germs that are floating around at the babysitter’s house, daycare, school, or at after school lessons and events. Honeybells are also easy to eat on the go, so parents can put a few Honeybells in the car or in their children’s backpacks and know that the kids will always have access to a fast, healthy snack.
Because kids love the sweet taste of Honeybells parents can give kids Honeybell gift baskets for Valentine’s Day instead of the typical chocolate sweets and the kids will still be happy. If your child wants a little bit of chocolate choose a Honeybell gift basket that has a few pieces of chocolate and lots of delicious Honeybells so that the child will mostly be getting a sweet but healthy treat. Stocking the house with Honeybells after the winter holidays is a fantastic way to wean your children off all the high sugar and high calorie sweets that they indulged in throughout the holiday season. Sweet Honeybells are the healthy alternative to chocolate treats and candy snacks that kids love and parents can feel good about.
