Fruit World says mandarin harvest delivers high flavor

Fruit World says it is experiencing a strong organic and conventional mandarin season, with this year’s organic clementines in particular reaching high sugar levels.

“We kicked off our organic mandarin season with clementines from my grandparents’ home ranch, Sky Ranch. These mandarins are always special, but this year they are knock-your-socks-off special,” Fruit World founder and CEO Bianca Kaprielian said in a news release. “Our next organic clementine varieties, including satsumas, are also eating exceptionally well, with higher-than-average Brix levels (a measure of sugar content) for this point in the season. It’s a strong crop year, with plenty of fruit on the trees, which means opportunities for ads and continuity of flavor and quality.”

Fruit World says it is currently shipping organic clementines and satsumas in its 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-pound branded bags and high-graphic cartons that are a sure way to create an eye-catching display. The company also has started shipping organic satsumas with stem and leaves, offering a farm-fresh presentation for produce departments, the release said.

“Now is the time to bring in volume to create big holiday displays,” Kaprielian said. “The flavor and quality are bound to create repeat customers.”

As a company certified by the Equitable Food Initiative, Fruit World says it upholds high standards for food safety, social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

“Our commitment to people and the planet is unwavering,” Kaprielian said. “As a company focused on sustainability, we’re proud to offer fruit that reflects the care and dedication of our team and our stewardship of the land.”
