Make the Holidays Sparkle with Honeybells

Have you ordered your Honeybells for the holidays this year? Honeybells are the perfect holiday fruit. These exotic hybrid fruits only are available for a short time each year, from late December through January, and the earliest ones arrive just in time for Christmas. Honeybells have an exceptionally sweet taste that bursts in your mouth like an explosion. They also are known for having large amounts of sweet and refreshing juice, which can be used in everything from holiday drinks to cooking throughout the holiday season. If you’re looking for something special to make your holiday meals stand out from all the other holiday treats Honeybells are the perfect thing.

Honeybells are also the ideal fruit for Christmas because of their unique shape. Honeybells get their name from their distinctive bell shape, which looks like a Christmas bell ringing out to ring in the festivities. A basket of Honeybells decorating a table at a Christmas party or used as a centerpiece during Christmas dinner provides beautiful color as well as the perfect holiday shape. Honeybell juice can be added by guests to their desserts or beverages during the meal or can be eaten as dessert by health conscious guests. If you have some friends or family members who can’t eat certain foods or prefer not to eat a lot of sweets it’s a very thoughtful gesture to provide some tasty and healthy Honeybells for them as an option. Kids also love Honeybells, and generally have a very easy time eating Honeybells on their own. About 80% of Honeybells are seedless, but some do end up with seeds in them.

Honeybells are a uniquely American fruit and only grow in the famous Indian River Valley in Florida. Sometimes you may hear Honeybells called Honeybell oranges but really they aren’t oranges. They are a hybrid fruit that is a combination of a grapefruit and a tangerine. Growers in the Indian River Valley often hand pick these unique fruits to preserve the beautiful bell shape of the fruit. Because they are so rare and because they have to be picked so carefully Honeybells can be a bit more expensive than some other types of fruit but they are worth every extra penny. If you want to add a little splash of citrus sparkle to your holiday parties and dinners this year, or if you’re looking for gifts that will wow your friends and loved ones, you can’t go wrong with Honeybells.
