Citrus fruit, soft/easy peelers, flesh only, weighed with peel and pips

Easy-peeling citrus fruits are citrus fruits with a skin that is readily removed. This entry describes the flesh only, but the nutrient values are based on the fruit’s weight including peel and pips. The main nutrients provided include carbohydrate, vitamin C and fibre. Per 100g weighed with peel and pips, the flesh provides 7.5g carbohydrate, 1.2g fibre and 33mg vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Fibre contributes to normal bowel function. The carbohydrate in this entry is naturally occurring sugar within the fruit, rather than added sugar. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
