FOWLER, CA - Spring is just around the corner, and I’m starting to crave everything fresh and sweet. And with Bee Sweet Citrus’s specialty citrus varieties still coming in strong, leading the grower to expect California’s domestic citrus season to last an additional two months, this spring promises to be the sweetest yet.

“There’s still time to get your hands on some of your favorite citrus varieties this season,” said Monique Bienvenue, Director of Communications. “Whether you’re a fan of Cara Cara Navels or Blood Oranges, the Bee Sweet Citrus team has what you need to welcome the new season on a healthy note.”

Spring means more sunshine and more outdoor adventures. And with more consumers stepping out for the better weather, the popularity of specialty citrus will continue to grow, according to a press release. Families, health enthusiasts, and everyday foodies look for the nutritional benefits and unique flavors of citrus to join them as springtime adventure buddies, Bee Sweet said.

“Specialty varieties like Cara Cara Navels and Blood Oranges are perfect for the spring season,” continued Bienvenue. “These varieties, as well as other citrus fruits, are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and pair well with salads and other seasonal meals.”

Along with Cara Cara Navels and Blood Oranges, Bee Sweet's Meyer Lemons, Heirloom Navels, and Gold Nugget mandarins are also available well into spring. The grower suggests retailers tap into the exceptional flavor and versatility of the citrus to meet consumers snack and meal needs as the weather continues to heat up.
