SANTA PAULA, CA - The colors pink and yellow together immediately evoke memories of the vibrant and dreamlike sunsets that mark the end of each day. That, and Pink lemons, of course.
Limoneira is bringing the extraordinary, exclusive variety to produce departments, luring in shoppers with an inviting new fruit to cater to their citrus cravings.
“We are forecasting excellent quality this season for Pink lemons with their typically strong shelf-life,” Susan Jones-Ng, Limoneira’s Director of International Business Development, explains. “As for volume, our young trees in California continue to produce more and more fruit each year.”
The premium lemon variety boasts uniqueness as it features a pink-hued flesh, enticing shoppers with a naturally novel take on a consumer-favorite category.
“Retailers globally are looking for a new, exciting fruit to showcase to their shoppers. Pink lemons by nature are unique!” Susan exclaims. “Individually, Pinks can be full yellow in color with a slightly pink blush, or they can have various degrees of green stripes on their rind.
