Chosen for their amazing shapes, unique tastes, exotic and tangy scents; Chinese pomelos, bergamot oranges, kaffir limes, blood oranges and kumquats are primarily low-calorie fruits and a key source of vitamin C which our bodies requires to defend itself and regenerate.
But if you needed even more reasons to stock up on these fruits, then you’d be happy to know that their natural pigments, flavonoids, limonoids and hesperidins act on reducing cholesterol as well as improving blood circulation. Not only that, but recently, respected nutritionist Dr Catherine Serfaty-Lacrosnière has also cited another benefit to the list: their anti-inflammatory action which acts on preventing digestive cancers.
How we love a healthy and tasty treat!
