Send a Burst of Good Health with Monthly Citrus Deliveries!

Giving a gift subscription to one of Pittman & Davis’s monthly clubs for fresh fruit delivery truly is a gift that keeps on giving. For three months, six months or twelve months running, your recipient will be reminded of your thoughtfulness with each new selection of the season’s best fruit!

If you’ve tasted fruit from Pittman & Davis before, you know that our fruit is far superior to what you can find in a conventional chain grocery store. That’s because our standards at Pittman & Davis are higher than those of conventional produce growers…they offer you whatever fruit is available, when it’s available, but we offer you only the best fruit available. Picked during the peak of the season from mature trees, our fruit is higher in natural sugars for the finest flavor and never sees the inside of a distribution center, meaning it comes straight from our farms to your table. This means you get gift-quality fruit, every time.

Gifting your loved ones a steady supply of the season’s best fruit from Pittman & Davis is more than just a high-quality gift that saves them money and time spent shopping…it’s a gift that shows them how much you care. Healthy gifts are always appreciated, particularly during the bleak months of winter when viruses run rampant and spring seems far away.

Here are a few ways in which a Pittman & Davis fruit club subscription shows your loved ones that you care about their health and well-being:

To Beat the Bulge

Has a loved one recently expressed a desire to lose weight? A gift subscription to Pittman & Davis’s Citrus Supply Grapefruit option is a great way to help support them!

When you sign your recipient up for our Citrus Supply™ Club: All Grapefruit, they will enjoy tree-fresh shipments of our famous Rio Ruby™ Red Grapefruit every month from November through June. Grapefruit has long been touted as a diet-friendly food owing to it being very low in calories as well as low on the glycemic index. While opinions vary on whether there’s something specific about grapefruit itself that results in fast weight loss, research does indicate a link between the fruit and insulin as it relates to weight management – that is, the chemical properties inherent in grapefruit are believed to reduce insulin levels and encourage weight loss. It also probably helps that consuming citrus fruit with higher water and fiber content (like grapefruit) helps you feel fuller and more satisfied on fewer calories.

And trust us – with Rio Ruby™ Red Grapefruit from Pittman & Davis your gift recipients will feel satisfied, because it’s so darn delicious! Unlike white grapefruit varieties, red grapefruit contains cancer-fighting lycopene and beta-carotene, which give it its signature color as well as a delightful sweetness that never needs sugar added to it. Instead of bitter, the result is a tangy sweetness that’s refreshing and wonderful enjoyed alone or in smoothies and salads.

For Preventative Care

Grapefruit isn’t the only monthly citrus delivery offered by Pittman & Davis…our Citrus Supply Clubs include an All Oranges option as well as a Navels and Grapefruits option, plus a more inclusive option that includes Honeybells, Cara Cara Navels, Clementines and Honey Mandarins. This is a great wintertime gift because winter citrus of all kinds is very rich in vitamins and minerals which can help strength the immune system and fight off certain types of diseases. A diet that regularly includes citrus may help prevent atherosclerosis, acidity, digestive disorders, stomach and pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and other types of diseases.

Here are some of the nutrients that can be found in citrus fruits, and how they help prevent certain ailments:

• Vitamin C. Vitamin C plays an important role in supporting your immune system by acting as an antioxidant that protects your cells against free radicals and inflammation. This helps reduce the body’s risk of developing certain types of cancer, heart disease, and even arthritis.
• Flavonoids are phytonutrients that give citrus fruits their bright color and invigorating fragrance. But they also do a lot more than that – studies show that flavonoids have anti-inflammatory qualities which have been shown to help prevent cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia and other ailments.
• Fiber. Citrus fruits are a rich source of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Working together, these complex carbohydrates help lower glucose levels and blood cholesterol, as well as help prevent diverticular disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and constipation.

Given the many benefits that citrus has to offer, you should ship a box of Pittman & Davis citrus to family members and friends regularly to show them you care about their health.

To Stay Healthy

We know a diet that includes fresh fruit is good for your long-term health. What about your daily sense of well-being?

Common flus and viruses may not be dangerous, but they’re unpleasant, annoying, and have a way of derailing our plans and disrupting our productivity. But you can reduce your risk of getting many of the common winter ailments by eating the right foods and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

When it comes to minor ailments such as common colds and sore throats, citrus can help prevent the onset of these diseases and reduce the severity of their symptoms. Because of this, healthy gifts containing citrus and other fruits from Pittman & Davis can go far towards improving your friends’ and family members’ health. In addition to strengthening the immune system so that your gift recipients will be less prone to getting coughs and colds, a diet high in citrus (especially grapefruit) can help prevent constipation, promote healthy digestion, and even relieve symptoms of acid reflux.
