Top Three Websites to Order Florida Citrus

Susan Brown
Who doesn't love those delicious orbs that can only be found in Florida, USA? It seems Florida is the perfect environment for these tasty little creations - lots of sun, great weather. But now you don't have to travel to Florida in order to experience that sweetness! Now you can order oranges online, directly from the orchard. That's right, hand-picked just for you and delivered right to your door! It couldn't get any better than this!

I have picked my top three places to turn to for delicious in-season citrus. We all know how great citrus is for your health, and at only around 80 calories per pop it really couldn't get any better! Oranges are rich in flavonoids and, according to Professor Paresh Dandona of the University of Buffalo, orange juice is perfectly acceptable for diabetics to drink!

Based in Citra, Florida. For $30 a month you can get a ½ bushel of fruit delivered to your door! Or, place a one-time order of something delicious such as their February Temple Oranges, or perhaps delicious Sunburst Tangerines.

They are based in Naples, FL and they grow, sell and ship delicious full-sized fruit. They do a great job with packing your oranges. As with most shippers, they pick the fruit once it has ripened and immediately ship it.

They sell both oranges and grapefruits, and your mouth will water when you see some of the varieties they offer based on the available crop! For instance, in January you can get your hands on delicious honeybells - they are hybrids of tangerine and grapefruit and they are shaped like little bells. They are sweet, easily sliced, and seedless. You can get 40lbs for around $60. Or try the Page Tangelo - many people love this variety, as it is a cross between a clementine and a honeybell. The flavor is really rather incredible! You can get them for around $40 for a half bushel. They are based in Citra, Florida. You can also email them for more info at: info@floridaorangeshop.com.
