Grapefruit Woes - Tiki Drinks and Food

A friend hipped me to the fact that somehow someway bags of Florida whites showed up at Aldi for like $3 for a 5lb bag. The bag I got had 8 fruits in it that are about half the size of the ones we get in peak season and they produced close to 4 oz of juice each. A friend brought me a bag with 6 fruits that are about 2/3 regular size. They seem like maybe the dregs from the end of the season but the taste is very close to what I’ve come to expect of Florida whites if not a tad on the bitter side. Regardless, it’s exciting to have off season access. I wonder if this is just a one shipment deal or if they’ll be available a while. [ Edited by mikehooker on 2022-04-13 21:55:05 ]
