A  morning without orange juice is like a morning  without sunshine.  Remember that old advertisement  saying   for OJ?  Well, in a sense it’s true.  Florida is a major grower of citrus fruit, and the sunny Florida groves soak up that vitamin C and pass it on as oranges, grapefruit and tangerines.  You actually can taste the sun in these delightful  little treats .  What more thoughtful gift could you send to a ally that a fruit basket stuffed  with this bountiful harvest  ? 

Think about it for a minute .  Sure on the surface you’re giving a basket of juicy  fruit that’s going to  delight   even the most obscure  palate much less your best friend  who thinks McDonald’s McFlurry is a gourmet   treat .  But  besides  that you really are delivering sunshine.  Or at least the chemical byproducts which include vitamin C, B1, B2, Thiamine and a  variety  of antioxidant agents that do wonders for the body.  The fruit is sweet and juicy  and also  good for you  .  What a  fablulous  friend  you are.

And what choices to select from.  Florida fruit boxes  aren’t just about citrus although oranges  aren’t a bad thing to send.  No Florida fruit baskets can be a single fruit or a mix of fruit and even come with non-fruit  treats .  You can pick from tangerines, grapefruit, melons  and cherries .  Nuts of all kinds and candy are also available .

The big challenge with a Florida fruit basket is picking what  type  of fruit to  send .  When you say you’re going to send tangerines it’s kind of like saying you are going to send a car.  What kind of car?  Tangerines, like oranges and grapefruit, come in a bunch of different  types   each with their own characteristics and season.  In fact, season may be the decider for you here.  Remember this is fresh fruit not frozen or canned.  This citrus comes direct from the grove and is dependent on the weather.

Take some time and peruse the different  choices you have before making your decision.  You can rest assured that whatever you  choose your friend will get the health benefit so it really is a decision based on sweetness and taste.  If you just can’t make up your mind flip a coin.  It’s that easy because you just can’t go wrong.

Fruit baskets from Florida are a way of telling a friend that they are special.  They are going to love it and talk about it for month.
