Citrus fruits, fruits that have made the Mediterranean diet unique worldwide. Oranges and lemons that grow along the coasts of Italy’s seas and lakes, bringing fragrance and flavor to our shores, which are increasingly becoming tourist destinations for visitors from around the world. Shall we talk about the Ribera DOP oranges? These are oranges kissed by the Sicilian sun, bringing to your table all the authenticity of the Mediterranean diet. Just like the lemons from Marsala, used to make the famous limoncello. Traditions that marry with flavor.

Fresh fruit and citrus: organic selections

There are treasures among our selections of fruit and citrus, and they are the products from organic farming. Dedicated to those of you who love nature and organic products! Each producer has carefully grown every plant and tree, embracing the philosophy of organic farming not only as a business guideline but as a way of life, despite the higher production costs and greater attention required for each crop.

How good it is to eat fresh seasonal fruit

Vitamins. This single word could be enough to highlight how important fruit is to us: precisely because of its contribution of vitamins, essential every day. But fruit, especially citrus fruits, is not just that: if eaten in adequate amounts, it can truly be a pillar of our diet. For example, the contribution of water is very important and facilitates the hydration of our body, even in people who don’t feel thirsty. Furthermore, fruit also provides a lot of energy, but its contribution depends on the product and its seasonality. It ranges from watermelon, which provides 16 kcal/100g, to chestnuts, which provide 165 kcal/100g and 25.3g of starch. If we look at exotic fruits, there are even higher caloric contributions, such as avocado (231 kcal) and coconut (364 kcal). As for fats, the quantity is rather low and made up of unsaturated and polyunsaturated lipids. The amount of protein is relatively insignificant. However, the intake of fiber, made up of water-soluble polymers, is important as it contributes to intestinal integrity. Fresh fruit has great antioxidant potential: the true shield against stress, aging, carcinogenesis, and atherogenesis.

However, it is important to know how to dose it: fruit is sweet because it contains fructose, which is a natural sugar. The fact remains that if one decides to replace confectionery products with fresh fruit and citrus, they are making a key point of dietary correction, which is a core principle of the true Mediterranean diet. Sweet products are available all year round, unlike fresh seasonal fruit, and this can, through habitual use, lead to an attachment to certain industrial products that only harm us each time we consume them. If we replaced sweets with seasonal fruit, we would only bring benefits to our body: we would increase hydration, vitamin intake, minerals, antioxidants, soluble dietary fiber, reduce simple sugars and total calories by at least 500%, moderate the insulin response, and promote satiety.
