National Citrus Month is observed throughout January, when citrus fruits are in their peak season because they grow best in chilly weather. Lemons, oranges, and grapefruits are examples of citrus fruits, which contain flavonoids as well as fiber, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, and vitamin A. Add a bright citrus flavor to the month by enjoying these fruits as snacks, mixing them into salads, or drinking freshly squeezed orange juice.
