• You need vitamin C for healthy bones and skin, and few foods give you more of that vital nutrient than citrus fruit such as limes, lemons, oranges, grapefruit and tangerines.
• Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant, which helps to prevent cell damage, reducing the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
• Though usually served and eaten only in small amounts, parsley is highly nutritious. It contains fibre for a healthy digestive system, the antioxidant vitamin C for cancer prevention and folate (a B vitamin) for heart health.

• Serve the pork with pan-fried potato slices and sautéed green beans for a taste of summer.
• Other white meat, such as chicken and turkey, also taste great sprinkled with gremolata.
• Substitute a lemon for the lime for a sharper flavour.
