    Ingredient: Orange

    You might already know that oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system and your skin.

    Less known is that oranges also contain an antioxidant called hesperetin, which has recent research suggesting it may protect against coronaviruses. They also contain fibre and potassium, making them a great addition to a healthy diet.

    The pith is good for you, too, and contains citrus pectin, which helps with our natural detoxification systems. The pith makes orange juice nice and creamy!

    You can also simply juice an orange for a nutrient-rich drink and use oranges to make salad dressings, marinades, and puddings. Orange zest can add citrus flavour to any dish, enhancing sweet and savoury recipes. It is great for glazing duck or chicken, or in brownies and granola and the colour of this bright fruit can brighten up any dish.

    Oranges are not just a star ingredient in the kitchen, they also offer a unique and delightful taste. Their versatility in cooking and their health benefits make them a must-have in your diet. So, why not give them a try and experience their delicious flavour and health benefits?
