Celebrating Lunar New Year and the citrus season with all the variations in color and flavor. Last winter we spent time in Sicily and at the end of a meal we would have a plate of citrus & fresh walnuts, aiding in digestion and of course, with a number of other health benefits.
.
Arugula has been growing under cover at the Farm and is so sweet right now, so it serves as the base for this Sun Salad✨
Eating Sunlight...Meyer Lemons & Limequats painted with honey and going into the dehydrator for treats I’ve been dreaming about.

We were in California recently and brought home citrus from farms we visited and farmer’s markets that had every variety imaginable. I love the million flavors of citrus and the health benefits are amazing, providing much more than just vitamin C.
.
Varieties that have more pith and ones in which you can eat the skin, such as limequats, provide digestive support, have anticancer properties, lower cholesterol, & contain often twice the Vitamin C and other nutrients. So, try zesting lemons or limes into your water for an extra boost.

Happy Lunar New Year! I’m off to make dumplings.
