Lime importer Sicar Farms says it has transitioned to its winter crop, which complements its year-round supply, adding that it is primed to help retailers support citrus promotions around health and wellness at the beginning of the new year.
“Our limes deliver exceptional nutrition and flavor. Citrus is naturally rich in vitamin C, which supports immunity, skin health, and energy. At the same time, our farming practices ensure we grow high-quality fruit with respect for the environment,” says Luis Gudino, SiCar Farms CEO.
Sicar Farms has also expanded operations into Florida, which it says helps support retailers and foodservice customers across the Northeast. This expansion significantly reduces transit times, allowing limes to reach retail and foodservice partners quicker, resulting in improved freshness, extended shelf life and superior overall quality for consumers, according to the company.
Sicar Farms says it sources its limes from regions with favorable climates that support strong yields and good fruit quality, which helps reinforce its commitment to sustainability while consistently delivering fresh, flavorful limes to market.
And that helps tie back into consumer demand for flavorful and functional fruits.
“Today’s consumers want more than great flavor; they’re looking for foods and beverages that support overall wellness and help boost their vitamin C intake,” Gudino says.
