Fruit of the Month

Grapefruit
As we view the indulgences of the holiday season in the rearview mirror (and on our thighs), we begin to crave a more rigorous fruit. The tart, juicy grapefruit bursts with sunshiny flavor and gives us an astringent dose of healthy vitamin C.

Ask The FruitGuys

Q: Why are there no stem-and-leaf satsuma mandarins in my mixes this winter?

A: The FruitGuys is participating in a voluntary ban on the sale and distribution of this popular winter treat to help prevent the spread of a plant-based disease carried by insects on citrus stems and leaves. While we will still be featuring stemless satsumas and other delicious citrus fruits that aren’t impacted by the disease, stem-and-leaf satsumas will be left out of our mixes this season as a precaution.

Call us at 877-FRUIT-ME (378-4863) from 6am–5pm (PST) Mon–Fri, or email info@fruitguys.com. Check out all our healthy products at fruitguys.com.
