Its the season to snack on: satsumas

Its the season to snack on - satsumas!

Benefits: this fibre fuelled citrus fruit is not only low in calories, but bursting with beneficial nutrients such as vitamin C - a vital vitamin and antioxidant that plays a role in the formation of collagen, immune health and the absorption of iron from plant based foods.

Enjoy as: a speedy snack between main meals - their easy to separate segments make them a quick and convenient choice, whilst their fibre fuelled properties will leave you feeling fuller for longer - or add their tangy taste to healthy homemade sweet treats and stir fries.

Get your 5 a day: two small satsumas are the equivalent to one portion of fruit - one portion of fruit counts as one of your five a day!

Top tip: consume citrus fruits - including oranges, lemons and limes - in moderation or with meals. These particular fruits contain enamel damaging acid that can have a detrimental impact on teeth.
