Honeybells Are Coming Are You Ready

It’s almost the time of year for Honeybells to come into season. Every year when Honeybells become available there is a mad rush to get as much Honeybell fruit as possible before it’s gone for another year. Special and delicious Honeybells are only available for a few weeks out of the year, from late December through the end of January, so everyone wants to get some Honeybells while they can during those weeks. Citrus growers often sell out quickly, so you need to be ready to get your Honeybell fruit as soon as it becomes available if you want to get some of the gourmet citrus fruit that everyone loves. Ordering ahead of time is a really smart idea, so if you want to be sure that you get your hands on a Honeybell basket or box of Honeybells this year order them early. That way you’ll be sure to get some as soon as the crop is ready to harvest. Honeybells are picked as soon as it becomes ripe with great care, so that the fantastic bell shape of the fruit isn’t ruined. Then the fruit is shipped at the peak of freshenss to your home or to the home of your loved ones if you’re sending Honeybells as gifts.

Honeybells are delicious for eating, and because they have less than 50 calories per fruit you can eat several a day and not jeopardize a healthy diet. Eating two or three Honeybells each day is a fabulous way to get yourself back on a healthy diet after the holidays because the sweet Honeybells will satisfy all your leftover sugar cravings without packing on pounds. Honeybell fruit, like oranges and tangerines, will last for several weeks if you store it in a cool and dry place, so you can keep a box of Honeybells for a month or longer, although you will probably eat them all long before that. But, if you want to keep some Honeybell fruit around to enjoy throughout the year you can always try making Honeybell butter, Honeybell jam or jelly, or fruitcake made with candied Honeybells and pieces of candied Honeybell skin, oranges, and other citrus fruits combined with nuts and baked into a delicious citrus cake. Fruitcake will last for years if you store it right, so you can always get a fix of delicious Honeybells when you want one.
