ORANGE

Here’s how the Outrageous Oranges outplayed  the Banging Brussels Sprouts..

Unfortunately the Brussels Sprouts had a tough day, they were over cooked, lowering the amounts of their star nutrients allowing the quick attack of the oranges to dominate.  Oranges came through with a strong immune system, GI tract, and heart, while lowering risk of diabetes and cancer.

Once again, the fan support swayed the game.  By the looks of  it, 67% of the fans in attendance were cheering for the Oranges while only 33%  were rooting for the Brussels Sprouts.

ORANGES

Season: Phenomenal season, December through April.

Star players:  Vitamin C, Fiber, Phytonutrients 

On the bench: thiamin, folate, Vitamin A, potassium, calcium

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Season: Long season from December to June. 

Star players: Vitamins K and C, fiber

On the bench: Vitamin A and E
