So, my selection of the ingredient was based on the following criteria:
***DRUMROLL PLEASE***
The BSI for this week is:
Juicy and delicious!
Why did I pick this superfood as this week’s BSI? Well, for one they’re in season. In-season foods always taste better! Also, oranges are known for their vitamin C content, but they also feature (from World’s Healthiest Foods)
Oranges are listed as one of the World’s Healthiest Foods!
From whfoods.com
Visit this site for more information on the wonderful orange!
Now, for the rules.
You may use any part of the orange, as long as its REAL orange. No Tang or anything like that! I’m also looking for accessibility. Try to not make a recipe that’s so intimidatingly complicated that you wouldn’t give it to a kitchen-phobe.
I’ll be posting the recipes on this page and the BSI Orange page as I receive them.
To enter:
The deadline is Sunday, February 15, and the winner will be announced on Monday, February 16. I’ve yet to decide your prize, so I’ll keep you posted on that. I’m looking forward to getting all the entries!
