Beat Winter Sales Blues With Specialty Citrus

LOS ALAMITOS, CA — During the winter months, shoppers are looking for citrus fruits to boost their immune systems and brighten up their meals. Take advantage of winter specialty citrus to give your shoppers more variety and liven up your produce department.
