Honeybells are the Gourmet Citrus Fruit

Did you know that Honeybells are the gourmet citrus fruit? These days companies are slapping a gourmet label on everything to appeal to consumers who want high end food choices but Honeybells really are a gourmet food. These super sweet fruits were created in the early 1930s by cross pollinating a tangerine and a grapefruit and the result was a truly gourmet fruit. Honeybells got their name from the distinctive bell shape of the fruit and super sweet taste which is one of the sweetest fruits you will find. Honeybells also are known for having a lot of delicious juice which can be used in dozens of ways or just served on its own as a delicious alternative to orange or grapefruit juice.

Honeybells are only available for a very short time each year. For just a few weeks you can buy fresh Honeybells and then they’re gone again for another year. This short growing season has led the Honeybell to be one of the most popular citrus fruits around. Some fruit growers sell out their entire crop before they even pick the first piece of fruit. Growers recommend that you order Honeybells early if you want to have them on hand for Christmas gifts or to use in your Christmas cooking. After Christmas is over these tasty low calorie fruits are a delicious way to get yourself back on a healthy diet. Eating the sweet fruit as a low calorie substitute for all the chocolate, cookies, and cakes that are always around during the holidays will help you lose that holiday weight without feeling deprived. Honeybells have the same health benefits that you’d get from eating grapefruit.

If you have been searching for the perfect gift for your friends and family members who love gourmet foods and consider themselves experts on high end food surprise them this year with the gift of the gourmet citrus fruit. Honeybells can be purchased in bulk or beautifully arranged in fruit baskets and gift towers.
