    Is “Orange” a Color or a Fruit?

    By: The Hale Groves Team | On: | Category: Fruit Facts Healthy Eating

    With the increased availability of Navel Oranges for sale you might find yourself wondering about this oddly named fruit. After all, apples are red, pears are green, plums are purple, and oranges are…well, orange! Why are oranges so named? You may think it’s because all oranges are actually orange whereas not all apples are red (nor are all pears green or all plums purple). The fact is that oranges (navel or otherwise) grown outside the US aren’t always orange – some stay green, and some become almost lemon-yellow.

    You NEED to Try Sumo Citrus!

    By: The Hale Groves Team | On: | Category: Healthy Eating

    It’s orange, yes, but instead of being smooth and round, this citrus fruit has a bumpy-looking peel and a funny topknot at its stem end like those worn by Japanese sumo wrestlers. This, friend, is a Sumo Citrus fruit – a king-sized snack with king-size flavor and nutrition you won’t want to miss! Why You Need to Try Sumo Citrus® from Hale Groves If you’ve been hesitant to try the Sumo Citrus oranges you’ve seen in stores, we don’t blame you – depending on how far you live from where they’re grown, they probably look a bit bruised and dingy.…

Another year you sent your mom some nice-smelling handmade soaps, but were they really better than the store-bought ones? Another year you might have sent grandma some pictures of the kids in frames, but her house is small and she never found…
