The Bee Sweet Citrus team reported May 15 that star ruby grapefruit will be available through summer, even though many California-grown citrus varieties are nearing the end of their season.
“Bee Sweet’s star ruby grapefruit is an excellent commodity to highlight during the summer months because of its availability, versatility and health benefits,” Anders Skooglund, Bee Sweet Citrus Sales Representative, said in a news release. “As one of the sweetest grapefruit varieties on the market, we’re confident shoppers will enjoy grapefruit throughout the summer months.”
Bee Sweet’s star ruby grapefruit is currently harvested in California’s Central Valley and will be available through August, the company said.
“While many people enjoy eating grapefruit fresh, there are so many different ways consumers can utilize them in meals,” said Monique Mueller, Bee Sweet Citrus director of communications. “Their sweet, tangy flavor beautifully complements summer salads, cocktails, parfaits and more.”
In addition to grapefruit, Bee Sweet Citrus has mandarins, lemons and Royal Red oranges available for customers, the company said. Navel oranges remain light as the company prepares to transition to its summer import program.
