UPDATE: Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Fresh-Cut Grapefruit Products

October 20, 2017

Texas Rio Red grapefruits are back in season. Markon’s supplier of fresh-cut grapefruit will begin transitioning into new crop Texas Rio supplies in November. During this transition there may be some variability in the internal color of fresh-cut grapefruit items due to mixed varieties of raw product.

  • Expect mild flavor in early season Texas Rios
  • Flesh color will be vibrant red
  • Color will deepen and flavor will sweeten as the season progresses
  • The Texas Rio grapefruit season is expected to run through May

Please contact your Markon customer support representative for more information.
