Growing conditions continue to be very favorable. The Florida crop is predicted to be 22 percent above last year. Grapefruit is also enjoying a good crop year, predicted to be the largest on record since the 1945-46 crop. Processors are expecting to have record production of* both oranges and grapefruit. Citrus fruits are sold by size. When a newspaper ad promotes grapefruit 32’s the number simply refers to the number of grapefruit packed to the box or carton. The smaller the number the larger the fruit.
Large size does not necessarily denote the best buy. The best buy are usually the sizes most plentiful for the season. Large sizes may have very thick skins and a relatively small amount of juice and pulp.
When you are buying, select fruit that is heavy for its size. DO NOT SQUEEZE - hold the fruit in your palm to feel the weight. The heavier the fruit, for its size, the juicer it will be.
Remember that citrus is good for you nutritionally and healthfully. Informed families have for years been increasing their citrus intake as a preventive for cold weather illnesses. The secret is the Vitamin C content. Vitamin C is not stored in the body and you never outgrow your need for it.
