The Surprising Romance of the Honeybell Orange
The Surprising Romance of the Honeybell Orange
You might not think of fruit as romantic. Oranges and tangerines are probably not the first thought that comes to mind if you’re looking to impress your significant other. But you might be surprised. If your special someone is watching their weight or trying to get back in shape following the holidays, the Honeybell tangelo might be a great way to surprise them while showing you’re supportive of their efforts to get fit.
The Power of Vitamins
Honeybell tangelos are actually a cross between the honeybell and the tangerine. First invented by Florida farmers in the 1930s, they’re packed to the rind with important vitamins and minerals. Rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C as well as a wide array of minerals and important nutrients, they’re a perfect snack or light breakfast or lunch.
Honeybells make great gifts during the cold and flu seasons of wintertime. They’re strong in fiber, calcium, and protein, which help build healthy bones, teeth, and muscle tissue.
They’re also drug safe. USDA studies show that, unlike some forms of grapefruit, honeybells are perfectly safe for enjoying while taking medication.
Say It With Fruit
The tradition, of course, is to express your affection with roses or other flowers. But besides decorative value, what good do they truly serve?
Honeybells and many other kinds of Florida, including oranges and grapefruit, are available for delivery nationwide. Arriving in decorative gift baskets, they make a perfect surprise gift. You can even surprise your sweetheart with oranges, tangelos, and grapefruits in a variety of themed baskets, including treasure chests and other decorative motifs.
You Don’t Have to Sacrifice Taste
Nutrition is fine and welcome, but maybe the best part of the honeybell is the rich juice. They honeybell’s juice is sweet and delicious, perfect either chilled or at room temperature. Their succulent, easy to chew pulp makes a perfect snack, and the juice can complement a romantic breakfast in bed to surprise on Valentine’s Day or any other occasion you think is “special.”
