Bee Sweet Citrus Star Ruby grapefruit available through summer

While many California-grown citrus varieties are nearing the end of their season, the Bee Sweet Citrus team reports that Star Ruby Grapefruit will be available through summer.

"Bee Sweet's Star Ruby grapefruit is an excellent commodity to highlight during the summer months because of its availability, versatility and health benefits," said Anders Skooglund, Bee Sweet Citrus sales representative. "As one of the sweetest grapefruit varieties on the market, we're confident shoppers will enjoy grapefruit throughout the summer months."

Bee Sweet's Star Ruby grapefruit is currently harvested in California's Central Valley and will be available through August. The variety is popular for its blushed rind, red interior, and sweet, tangy flavor profile. The company also reports that the fruit’s quality is great and eats well.

"While many people enjoy eating grapefruit fresh, there are so many different ways consumers can utilize them in meals," said Bee Sweet Citrus Director of Communications Monique Mueller. "Their sweet, tangy flavor beautifully complements summer salads, cocktails, parfaits and more."

In addition to grapefruit, Bee Sweet Citrus also has mandarins, lemons and Royal Red oranges available for customers. Navel oranges remain light as the company prepares to transition to its summer import program.
