A Wealth of Oranges

Submitted by Whole Foods on Friday, February 8th, 12:56 pm

Biting into a burst of sunshine! That’s how I describe that juicy first bite of a sweet, aromatic orange. The same can be said for tangerines, Mandarin oranges and all of their many varieties. It’s easy to grab an orange, peel and munch on the spot!

Did you know that in China, vibrant orange-gold oranges and tangerines are symbols of good fortune and wealth? February 10th is the start of the two-week Chinese New Year. It’s customary to give oranges as gifts and they are displayed on altars and used for decoration.

I thought I’d share some ideas for ways to sparkle up a dish or a menu by adding oranges or tangerines. You never know…someone might gift you a lot of oranges!

Super Snacking MVPs

Pizza. Wings. Chips and dips. Beer. Next month’s big game is the second biggest day for food consumption in America. While the participating teams and commercials change from year to year, what we feast on usually doesn’t. So imagine if you didn’t eat meat or gluten, didn’t drink alcohol or tried to avoid GMOs. What would you do on game-day Sunday? Call dibs on the carrot sticks and celery from the wings platter? Stick with water or get stuck with sugary sodas?
