Citrus fruits are all acid fruits. Acid fruits are the most detoxifying of all fruits. It is best to eat them fresh. They are high in Vitamin C and contain many other essential nutrients, including both glycaemic and non-glycaemic carbohydrate (sugars and fibre), potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and a variety of phytochemicals.

Citrus fruits contain no fat, sodium, or cholesterol.
