Coming Soon:
Available for Wholesale Buyers
The 2024 harvest of Rosy Red was completed and exceeded our expectations. Suntreat packing house processed and sold the fruit to wholesale buyers in limited quantities. Pallets of 88s, 113s, 138s, and 72s were delivered throughout the Suntreat buyer network. Fancy Fruit and Choice Pack grades were sold.
The 2025 crop will be harvested between May and June of 2025.
Suntreat is presenting the Rosy Red fruit to buyers in the food service arena as well as to specialty grocery markets who want to stand out from the crowd and offer the brand-new, distinct Rosy Red Valencia with its beautiful exterior blush, rosy red flesh, and pretty rosy red juice. The Rosy Red is a natural choice for grocery stores with in-store juicing machines.
-
Juice and Fruit
Commercial testing has established that the color of the flesh and juice is lycopene-based and also contains significant levels of beta carotene. The sugar and acid tests reveal a pattern of sugar to acid ratio similar to the Olinda Valencia. The flesh, pith, juice, and rind are all rosy red.
-
Samples for Sellers
Boxes of packed fruit sample have been sent to potential buyers and product users. Across the board, the fruit samples were very well received. The Rosy Red provides an opportunity for these businesses to offer consumers a fun and different product.
-
Consumer Testing
Consumer feedback for the Rosy Red has been very positive. Select chefs, bakers, and mixologists have been experimenting with the Rosy Red and have begun formulating recipes for cooking, baking, oils, jams, drinks and cocktails. We look forward to seeing—and tasting—the results.
