Florida oranges, the All Day Food

Florida oranges are not just good for you but are truly the true all day food.  It does not matter what the time of day it is, the orange has a place.  Very few people have cheese cake for breakfast any more than they have raisin bran for dessert.  Other foods have a time that they are eaten, not Florida oranges.  They are at home in any meal or time.

Breakfast is the most obvious time for a Florida orange.  Every commercial for any cereal shows a glass of orange juice while telling you that it is part of a healthy breakfast.  After all it is filled with vitamins, most importantly vitamin C.   It also high in natural, fast acting, natural sugars that will give you a nice, natural push in the morning.  Florida oranges are better for you than the coffee you use for the same effect.

 By lunch time you are ready for a whole Florida orange.  A brow bag lunch just would not be complete without one.  Not only do the seem like a natural side dish to accompany you PB&J, but adding a Florida orange to lunch is an easy way to get you close to the daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables.  Besides, they are juicy but come in there own disposable pack and no fork is needed!

By mid afternoon it is time for a snack.  More and more people are skipping the candy bars and reaching for a nice Florida orange.  Why choose the empty calories of potato chips when you can have an orange.  Even the convenience stores now keep a basket of Florida oranges right by the cash register.  That is because they know it is what people want.

Now it is 5 o'clock and work is done.  Maybe it is time to meet your co-workers down at the pub.  Florida oranges will be there to meet you.  OJ is the most common mixer.  With vodka it is a screwdriver, with gin it is a gin and juice, or with tequila it is called a sunrise.  If you don't drink just have a nice glass of Florida orange juice and enjoy your friends.

At dinner time you might think the Florida orange takes some time off. No.  From Chinese to French cooking you find it being used because it works so well with both poultry and beef.  Also, Florida oranges are used as a marinade and not just for flavor.  The natural acids in  the juice beak down connective tissue and leave the meat very tender.

With all it can do, you owe yourself a Florida orange.
