Georgia may be the Peach State but citrus trees are taking root as winters warm.

Grist reports "there are more than 500,000 trees across nearly 4,000 acres" in the state.

And some fun trivia: Though Georgia is the Peach State, two other states produce more of the fruit annually. https://flip.it/vnL59J

For the last several months, any citrus that I've bought tastes overripe. Lemons, grapefruit, limes, oranges; they all taste on the verge of spoiling. I make my own lemonade, but just one bad lemon makes it undrinkable. I even bought a carton of my usual OJ and it, too, tasted near rotten.

I wonder if it's because so many immigrants are being turned away, and since no one else will do such hard work, crops are rotting in the groves.

The bad thing about lemon bars is that they need to cool long before cutting into them. So I made these today for tomorrow's birthday dessert.

The family requested no dessert for the Saturday dinner, so they'll be missing these 😈

Here's an unusual view of the #Florida #Citrus #Tower, in #Clermont, not too far from Orlando.

Opened in 1956, it stands 226 feet tall. When my family used to visit it, in the mid to late 60's, it was surrounded by nothing but orange groves as far as the eye could see. Now it's surrounded by suburbs full of cookie-cutter houses. Back then, naturally, it didn't double as a cell phone tower, either.

Unlike so many other roadside attractions in Florida that have been killed by Disney, Universal, and the like, the Citrus Tower is still hanging on by its fingernails. A remnant of an older Florida that still exists in out of the way corners of the state.

Top potential benefits of lemons and limes:
💛 They can help reduce kidney stones.
💚 They can detoxify the body.
💛 They have an antihistamine effect.
💚 They have anti-fungal properties.
💛 They can help reduce uric acid.
💚 They can help increase iron absorption.

Top mistakes people make when consuming lemon juice:

Drinking it right before a meal
(What to do: Consume lemon water at least a half hour before you eat to provide additional enzymes and help produce adequate stomach acid to aid digestion and to get the most nutrients out of your food.)
Not diluting it with water and not using a straw
(What to do: Dilute your lemon juice with water and drink it through a straw to protect tooth enamel.)
Drinking it if you have an ulcer or gastritis
Drinking it if you have alkalosis (pH imbalance)

Nucleo-cytoplasmic interaction in seedless cybrid #citrus.

I really cannot stand most #bottled #tea these days! Over the past decade or so, it seems to me that they’ve increasingly been adding #citrus crap to the regular tea. To me, that completely ruins the flavor. They appear to call it “natural flavors”. Especially, if I could only find some bottled #green #sweetened tea without citrus crap, I would be eternally grateful to anyone who knows about this!

@animefeminist As a concept, the K-On! fandom introduced me to #Yuri back when FFN was decent. However, #Citrus was the first proper #YuriAnime I watched.
