Nutritional Facts about Honeybells

Honeybells are one of the most sought after citrus fruits. They share a lot of the nutritional benefits that citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits have but they have an exceptionally sweet taste that is not like any other citrus fruit. Honeybells are a hybrid fruit. The Honeybell was created by a food scientist who experimented with cross breeding citrus fruit until he got the Honeybell by breeding a grapefruit and a tangerine. The resulting fruit had the deep orange color of a tangerine, and the juiciness of the grapefruit. But the fruit had an unusual shape that made it look like a bell. The sweet taste, orange color, and strange shape all contributed to the fruit being name the Honeybell.

Like all other citrus fruits Honeybells are low in calorie, which makes them a wonderful healthy snack that is also tasty and sweet. Most Honeybells have about 50 calories, which is lower than some other citrus fruits like oranges which have about 80 calories. Like oranges though Honeybells are rich in Vitamin C and Folic Acid, which is very important for women to get daily. Honeybells have a lot of fiber which help you stay full and satisfied after you eat one. Honeybells are fantastic snacks for people who are trying to lose weight because they are sweet enough to satisfy cravings for candy or chocolate but they are low calorie and filling. Honeybells are also excellent for athletes who want a quick snack that can help them stay hydrated. Because Honeybells have so much tasty juice they can hydrate a person quickly.

Honeybells are only available for a limited time during the year though, so many people order Honeybells in advance to make sure that they get some. Most citrus growers take orders for Honeybells throughout the year so that you can order at anytime. The fruit will be shipped to you as soon as it’s picked, which is usually around Christmas time. Honeybells are in season usually from late December through January and then they disappear for another year. These little nutritional powerhouses can be used to make healthy preserves and other treats though, and the juice can be frozen to be served throughout the year. This year if you want to try a healthy sweet snack that can help you stay healthy and help you lose weight order some Honeybells. Once you’ve tried Honeybells you’ll be hooked and you’ll want to order them every year.
