Satsuma
Country of Origin: Spain
Nutritional Information: One of the less acidic members of the citrus family, satsumas are a good source of vitamin C and folic acid (essential for healthy red blood cells and the prevention of spina bifida in unborn children). Like all citrus fruit, they help in the prevention and treatment of coughs, colds and bleeding gums. The pith and segment walls contain many beneficial antioxidant plant compounds, called flavonoids, which work with vitamin C to protect the body from damaging free radicals (rogue cells which cause furring of the arteries, heart disease and more). Flavonoids also inhibit the action of platelets, the cells in the blood that clump together to form clots, so they are an important nutrient for people at risk of strokes.
