"Sweet Scarletts are so sweet you won't even need to add sugar," says Marc Seguin, vice president of marketing, Paramount Citrus. "The combination of warm Texas days with cool nights yields sweeter and vibrant red grapefruits. We're confident health-minded families will reach for Sweet Scarletts not only at breakfast, but also for a sweet, satisfying treat throughout the day."

Texas red grapefruit has a number of benefits to offer and can be easily incorporated into a healthy eating or weight management plan. Half of a medium grapefruit is roughly 60 calories, yet provides 100 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. In addition, Sweet Scarletts™ grapefruit is certified by the Non-GMO Project.  

Wonderful™ Sweet Scarletts™ are making a sweet splash in the Midwest's produce aisles of leading grocery, mass merchant and club stores. Sweet Scarletts™ are sold in 5-pound bags, 8-pound boxes, and as loose individual fruit. For more information, visit sweetscarletts.com.
