Shipments of Minneola Tangelos are Underway from San Joaquin Valley

Minneola Tangelos loadings are underway from Bee Sweet Citrus, Inc. of Fowler, CA with a strong supply of the specialty citrus variety available.

“Minneola Tangelos are one of the many specialty citrus varieties that we offer to our customers, and this season’s crop eats well,” stated Bee Sweet Citrus Sales Representative Joe Berberian. “The fruit’s sugar levels are high, and the variety possesses the perfect blend of sweet, tangy flavor.”

Minneola Tangelos are a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine and are in season now through April. Popular for its pronounced neck and distinct red-orange rind, the variety is excellent for anyone looking for a healthy, versatile snack.

“Minneolas are incredibly unique and shouldn’t be overlooked by consumers this season,” stated Bee Sweet Citrus Director of Communications Monique Mueller. “Visually, they’re easy to tell apart from other citrus varieties, and their distinctive flavor caters to citrus fans who appreciate both sweet and tangy flavors.”

Bee Sweet’s Minneola Tangelos are available in bag and bulk items, and the company reports that the fruit’s sizing complements 2#, 3#, and 5# bags. In addition to Minneolas, Bee Sweet Citrus also has Navel oranges, Heirloom Navels, Cara Cara oranges, Royal Red oranges, mandarins, lemons, Meyer lemons, pummelos and grapefruit are available.
