Gourmet Fruit from a Fruit Company Isn’t Just for Gifts

Most people only think of ordering fruit from a fruit company when the holidays come around, but delicious gourmet fruit from an independent fruit company is great for everyday and not just for gifts. Instead of spending a lot of money on mediocre fruit at the market treat yourself and your family to super fresh and tasty citrus fruit from a fruit company. If you do a cost comparison you’ll see that ordering fresh oranges and grapefruits doesn’t cost much more than you would pay in your local grocery store, and the fresh fruit ordered from the fruit company will last a lot longer than fruit from the market.

Fruit that you get at the local market is usually not fresh. When it’s picked it usually goes to a plant for processing. There it is sprayed with chemical preservatives and given a wax coating to make it look pretty and fresh when really it isn’t. Then after several days of being processed the fruit is loaded onto trucks that can take a week or more to reach your local market. Is that really the kind of fruit you want to eat or that you want your family to eat? When you order oranges, grapefruits, tangelos and other citrus fruits directly from a fruit company the fruit is shipped to you within a day or two of being picked, and you have it at your own home while it’s still fresh. If you store fresh citrus fruit properly it can stay tasty and delicious for up to six weeks without any preservatives at all.

So which would you rather feed your family? Old fruit from the market or fresh fruit from a fruit company? For most people the decision isn’t hard to make. You can also use fresh fruit baskets as decorations at summer parties, graduations, weddings, and simple picnics. Keep a basket of fresh and healthy oranges and grapefruit on the bar during family get togethers and you’ll be amazed at the delicious cocktails you can make. You can also use fresh oranges and tangelos to make delicious desserts and cool summer sorbets. It’s easy to cook like a gourmet when you have the best fresh citrus fruit to use in your cooking.

If you have never thought about buying citrus fruit from a fruit company for your own home it’s time to start thinking about it. Check the prices and you’ll see it’s well worth it to pay a little more and get the most delicious fruit and the freshest fruit you can buy.
