During the winter seasons there are certain fruits that are in season while others aren’t.

So what are the best fruits to buy during the winter seasons? And what are the most popular fruits bought by people during winter?
Some citrus fruits are really good to buy during winter months because of their availability and quality when being transported to different states from the South. Clementines, which are a type of orange, start to become available during December because of the heat that is still existent in the South. They are still able to keep their citrusy flavor. Other types of citrus fruits that are good to buy during the winter months are grapefruits, kumquats, lemons, regular oranges, pomelos, and tangerines. Grapefruits, along with other citrus fruits, come from the south where there is still heat during the winter months and still taste good when bought from the grocery store when transported. Usually, they start becoming more available during January.
