Happy citrus season! Citrus fruits are available year-round, but they’re at their sweetest, juiciest and best from December through March. Bright, beautiful oranges, tangerines, clementines, grapefruits, pomelos, key limes, and more are waiting for you to peel back their fragrant rinds and dig in. They’re a welcome dose of much-needed sunshine in a long, cold winter.Oranges and their citrus siblings are healthy food rockstars, packed with dietary fiber, calcium, Vitamin A, and folic acid. And they’re chock full of Vitamin C — one orange contains around 116% of the daily suggested Vitamin C. Your immune system (and your aging skin) will thank you.There are many citrus beauties to choose from. You can’t go wrong, even if you try, but these are some we’re happily stocking up on:Blood OrangesSlice one open and marvel at its deep, deep red flesh. These crimson stunners have a lush sweetness and slightly bitter, totally satisfying flavor — so refreshing, so special. Eat as many of these as possible while you can get ‘em. The wild color is the result of anthocyanin pigments, which act as antioxidants — so they’re not just pretty, they’re great for you. Make a show-stopping blood orange salad with arugula and fennel; toss with good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, sprinkle with feta.Cara Cara Navel OrangesSalmon-hued and candy-sweet, these oranges were first found at Venezuela’s Hacienda Cara Cara in 1976. They’re a brilliant cross between Washington and Brazilian Bahia navel oranges. They make a great snack out of hand. Or cook up some couscous and fold in some chopped kale, diced red onion, whatever nuts you love, and cara cara segments for their bright and punchy sweetness. Voila: a beautiful and totally healthy lunch or side.READ MORE: How Many Fruits & Vegetbales Do You Really Need to Eat Every Day?Kishus (AKA Pixie Tangerines) So cute! Too cute! These chestnut-sized mandarins are sweet, seedless, and irresistible. If you find ‘em, scoop up a big bag — the season is a flash in a pan, and by the start of springtime, they’ll be history. They’ve only recently become commercially available and still require some hunting to track down. But they’re absolutely worth the effort. Add to a salad or snack away.Meyer LemonsThese look like lemons, only lemonier. (Is that a real word? It is now.) They have a stunning, rich egg yolk color, smooth, thin skin, and a perfumy aroma. Meyers are sweeter and less acidic than their tart cousins, with notes of honey and fresh flowers. They’re a lemon-orange cross, named after the man who imported these a century ago from China. Mix mascarpone with meyer zest and juice, then season with salt and pepper — now you have a gorgeous pasta sauce. Mix with pasta and wilted spinach for a lovely meal; add hazelnuts for crunch.PomelosThere’s nothing dainty about these clunkers. Its botanical name, Citrus grandis, alludes to its giantness; its size ranges from that of an extra-large grapefruit to that of an adult head. They also look like a hybrid pear/watermelon/lime. But don’t be intimidated by this strange fruit. Peel back the fragrant skin, and the pomelos sweet segments easily separate from their membrane, making them easily snackable. Like grapefruits, they range from super-tart to sweet. Add to salads, squeeze into cocktails, or toss with mint and sea salt for a foil for shellfish.READ MORE: Meet Your New Favorite Superfruit, Mangosteen
