NEW ROCHELLE, NY - LGS Specialty Sales, an importer of citrus, avocados, grapes, and persimmons, announces an extended Chilean Murcotts season with high-quality fruit available through Thanksgiving.

“Our Chilean Murcotts are dark in color, easy peel, and average between 12 and 14 brix with a balanced flavor consumers crave,” remarks Luke Sears, President and Founder. “We currently have some of the best-tasting fruit on the market and are thankful that we can offer our customers high-quality product through Thanksgiving.”

According to a press release, this time frame not only allows for a seamless transition into the Moroccan clementine season but also offers retailers and consumers longer availability of great-tasting fruit with a strong flavor profile.

Due to the extended Chilean Murcotts season, LGS reports strong Moroccan clementines that will arrive in late November and early December. The minimal rain in Morocco last year, paired with more time to develop on the tree, an exceptional crop of clementines is expected this winter.

“We want retailers and the industry to get comfortable with the fact that the citrus import season does not necessarily end in October!” adds Sears.
