Prep Tip
Eat the whole segment, including the thin white pith when possible — it carries fiber and flavonoids the juicy flesh alone lacks.
Absorption Boost
Iron-rich foods (beans, leafy greens) — vitamin C improves absorption of non-heme iron
Nuts — a classic snack pairing that adds protein and healthy fat
Use Caution If
You have acid reflux — citrus can worsen symptoms in sensitive people
You take certain medications metabolized like grapefruit — citrus family fruits can occasionally interact; worth checking
Storage
Store at room temperature for about a week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
