Thank you, Vic. You are very well informed about your nutrients and supplements. I had a big battle with candida albicans years ago and one of the things I took a lot of then and still do now from time to time is GSE. It helped me so much.

That is a beautifully seasoned one Tee.

I took some photos this morning of the Citron Tea. You can find it in Asian markets.


Look at all the pieces of citron.


I put a full tablespoon in a cup of hot water. Sure wish you could smell this when it hits the hot water.

Oh Lynn, that looks so yummy - my mouth is watering

Tee - the health benefits of grapefruit and all its pieces and parts are off the charts

Lovely. I'm smelling it in my imagination as we speak. I will check the Asian foods section at the grocery and an Asian market too.

I need to get an orange and show Charley and the donkey kids eatting. They bite down on it and juices are drooling from their mouths. They love oranges. I have a orange tree outside in a pot, it has the best smelling blossoms but the fruits are very tiny and hard as a marble.

I'm trying to update the Citron page in the database, but my computer is keeps kicking me off the internet. : (
Will finish updating later and put a link here in this thread.

Okay, here is the link. Computer is working again.

Citron (Citrus medica)

Citrons

Can it be added to the database Tee?
It's a great photo.

Huh.... I thought the "Hand of Buddha" was a Citron - or maybe there's more than one kind.

Guess it's both!

Oh that's wild Sheryl.

There are many different citron.

Yes, there are many kinds. I have only had a couple ... the "hand" type and one similar to the other picture.

Kumquats too!! They are tiny orangey little things...

And they can be eaten whole, rind and all.

I love Kumquats.

I have a friend in Scottsdale who grows the Buddha's hand or I never would have known about it.

great info... I live in florida and have a ruby red grapefruit,a blood orange tree, and a common navel orange tree. I always have tons that i cant use believe me it might sound ridicules but eating it in everything on everything and juicing it and freezing it it still is just to much. i give away but seems like its the same if you have a reg size tree and its a good year you have more then you can use.

i have a piece of advice for anyone buying a tree to plant DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A LARGE TREE i got a orange tree about 5 ft tall next year i got a grapefruit tree about 6 ft tall and that year my parents got me a blood orange tree 1 1/2 ft tall all planted the same way all feed and watered the same way and let me post pics of the three

,
the trees are in a row the first pic has a full shot of grapefruit on left blood on right, the left pic the blood orange on left and navel on right with in 3 years the blood tree was bigger then the other trees.
here is this years crop almost ready for navel




the blood take longer and cold nights to change to red inside but looks like a big crop




i used to ship to family but its not worth it to much $$
