Happy National Nutrition Month! Today we are spotlighting the benefits of clementines!

· High in Vitamin C that’s important for your immune system and skin health.
· Good source of folate and thiamine for healthy metabolism.
· Dietary fiber for healthy digestion.
· How to serve: Can have on their own as a snack. Easy to throw in school lunches, they are easy to peel and usually seedless. They also make great toppings for a fun salad!

Clementines can be purchased with WIC benefits. Learn more about your local Genesee County WIC office at the link in the comments.
