Golden Chick

These golden citrus fruits taste like a cross between a tangy lemon and slightly sweet orange. Most often used to flavor desserts, Meyer lemons are starting to show up in savory applications, too.

As adults, our palate matures and ages, and we learn to appreciate new and unusual flavors that we may have shied away from as kids. In our golden years, we struggle with weight, medication, special diets and food restrictions that inhibit our enjoyment of food. As this particular demographic of older citizens increases in numbers, it is important to understand their dietary needs and food preferences, as well as the changing nature of their palates.
