Sun World International has kicked off harvest on its MIDNIGHT BEAUTY® black seedless grapes out of Coachella, California. While the company is shipping all three colors of grapes, Sun World is the single largest shipper of black seedless grapes from the region. Rick Paul, Grape Category Director, tells AndNowUKnow, "Quality and supply is looking excellent right now, and we’re seeing very strong demand for MIDNIGHT BEAUTY® grapes both internationally and domestically. Quality and Supply are excellent, we couldn’t ask for a better crop. Now is definitely the time to get California grapes on the shelves.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Peri & Sons' Onions All Year program is making its transition from its Long-Day onions in Nevada to California's Short-Day variety. Short-day onions offer a different set of characteristics due to planting that has occurred in Fall where their growing patterns are matched to days with shorter periods of sunlight. Short-Day onions offer a thinner, lighter colored skin with a higher water ratio, making the onions softer. They are best used fresh or lightly cooked. Teri Gibson, Director of Marketing & Customer Relations, tells AndNowUKnow, "We are excited to be picking up momentum on our Spring and Summer Harvest. With quality and supply looking great, we are looking forward to offering consumers another season of fantastic Peri & Sons red, yellow, white and sweet onions."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
