Oranges have such a great clean, tart taste. Not to speak of of fiber, folate, and vitamin C (well, a dietitian couldn't omit mention of that!) It's particularly apropos to me, as I'm in the midst of a response to a reader who inquired about dry mouth. I'm including all the dogma regarding fluids and artificial moisteners -- may I use your tip as well, in my newsletter? Thanks for sharing a valuable idea!
