The fruit contains 12 segments and about 30 seeds. The natsumikan tree is believed to be genetically derived from the pomelo (Citrus maxima). Calamondin Calamansi × Citrofortunella mitis: Calamansi, also known as calamondin, Philippine lime, or Philippine lemon, is an economically important citrus hybrid predominantly cultivated in the ...
GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, comprise a large majority of the food much of the western world consumes on a daily basis. GMOs are defined by the Non-GMO project as "living organisms ...

As of 2015, 26 plant species have been genetically modified and approved for commercial release in at least one country. The majority of these species contain genes that make them either tolerant to herbicides or resistant to insects. Other common traits include virus resistance, delayed ripening, modified flower colour or altered composition.
Guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommend adults eat between 2.5 and 4 cups of vegetables and 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit per day. (Veggies tend to be more nutrient ...
