Unless you live in a grove, you can't eat fresher, sweeter fruit.
Did You Know?
Florida citrus is a berry and it does not ripen off the tree or bush. As with strawberries or blueberries, once the fruit is picked, the sugars gradually break down and the fruit loses its full sweetness and flavor. That's why fresh is best.
At Florida Fruit Shippers® we never ship Florida citrus from storage.
And unlike oranges and grapefruit sold at retail, our Florida citrus is
never artificially colored, dyed or flavored. That's why we can say, "Unless
you live in a grove, you can't eat fresher, sweeter fruit."
Juicy Valencia Oranges
Florida's juiciest and most classically flavorful orange, Florida Valencia Oranges are usually seedless, oval in shape with a smooth, thin orange skin, and filled with sweet, delicious juice. Like other citrus varieties, Valencia Orange trees burst with fragrant blossoms every March and soon oranges begin to form at the blossom's stem. But unlike other varieties, mature fruit is just then fully ripening on the tree, taking a full year to develop its flavor and abundant juice. That full year soaking up the warm Florida sun and nurturing rains is why our Valencias are great for fresh eating and squeezing.
What Makes Florida Oranges and Ruby Red Grapefruit So Popular?
Is it their incredible sweetness? Is it the thin skin, which makes them so easy to peel? Or perhaps it’s because they’re so incredibly juicy. Whether you think it’s one of these reasons - or all of them - this is certain: our Florida Oranges and Ruby Red Grapefruit make a great gift that’s sure to please your friends and family - and don’t forget yourself!
