Spice up your desserts with these lovely Grilled Cinnamon Oranges. Oranges are fantastic nutritionally as they contain plenty of vitamin C, vitamin D,  folate, potassium, and thiamine (vitamin B1). They also help to keep you hydrated and are great for supporting the immune system….all of which are important for health and fertility. Cinnamon is a warming spice that helps to stabilise glucose and triglyceride levels in the blood. It acts as a fantastic antiseptic and a powerful antioxidant which also helps to reduce inflammation in the body.
