Sometimes we have found through the comments some questions in reference to citrus, which is the best in terms of vitamin intake, which citrus has more protection or prevention against a cold, etc.
The reality is that the different citrus varieties are very healthy, the importance of the choice lies in the optimum ripeness point, that the fruits chosen are truly juicy, ideal to be consumed, thus achieving that the child fully enjoys the flavor.
Oranges and tangerines take the palm, as for the lemon or grapefruit, it will be difficult for a child to like the juice of these freshly squeezed fruits, for this reason other types of fruits are always added to make a combination that is appetizing for the child. A problem that we find in regards to these fruits is the existence of a law that allows the use of diphenyl (specifically in oranges), a preservative that avoids a type of fungus, keeping the fruit in perfect condition for longer, bad is that this preservative can be toxic for children and the elderly, and even if it is applied on the wrapping paper, it slowly penetrates the skin and can reach the fruit. The choice of these fruits we think may carry some risk.
For this reason, we always buy any of the citrus, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits or lemons, from a farmer we know, moreover, it allows us to collect what we want to buy directly from the tree.
The purchase of organic fruits it is a good option that guarantee the absence of possible preservatives They are often used to provide a better appearance to fruits.
