Citrus Delivery or Pickup

All types of citrus have seeds, although certain varieties are deemed seedless. Officially, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a fruit can have up to six seeds and still be considered a seedless variety. That means most citrus fruit listed as seedless actually might contain a small number of seeds. However, this small amount is far fewer than the number of seeds found in a seeded variety. Just about every type of citrus fruit has seedless varieties.

You've probably seen stunning colorful displays of citrus in bowls on counters or kitchen tables. Keeping a beautiful bowl of citrus fruit at room temperature is perfectly fine as long as the fruit is whole. However, keeping the fruit at room temperature will speed up the ripening process. Fruit left out will last about one week.

You can always keep the fruit in the refrigerator if you're worried about the fruit ripening too quickly. Store the fruit in the crisper drawer in your refrigerator and not in any plastic bags since the bags can promote mold growth. Avoid placing them on open refrigerator shelves as they will be constantly exposed to air. The fruit will last a few weeks in the refrigerator.

Once you cut fruit, make sure you refrigerate any leftovers because the fruit becomes extremely perishable. Cut fruit will last one week in the refrigerator.
