New Rochelle, N.Y.-based importer LGS Specialty Sales says it is now offering South African Star ruby grapefruit to retailers ahead of schedule.

The company’s volumes of early summer star ruby grapefruit are now available for shipment out of New Jersey, according to a news release.

“Our customers continue to partner with LGS Specialty Sales because we work to secure fresh produce, like grapefruit, when the market is in need,” Luke Sears, president and founder of LGS Specialty Sales, said in the release. “If a retailer is having a hard time sourcing import grapefruit right now, look no further.”

LGS Specialty Sales sources grapefruit from the company’s farms in the fruitful Mediterranean-like climate of South Africa, where the weather is optimal for high-quality citrus, the release said. South African Star Ruby grapefruit will be available through October.
