Fresh Health RPC labelCosts vary throughout the year but are somewhat consistent in Summer, when there is an abundance of fruit from Mexico. Limes can be packaged in boxes, bags or in RPCs. We can also provide specialty packs on request.

Storage & Handling

Upon receiving the fruit it should be inspected for quality, appearance (good green color), size, count and good juice content (minimum of 42%). Limes should be held at 48°- 50° F

Display

Train your staff to recognize true lime sizes (150s, 175,s, 200s). We can provide you with a color sizing chart. Shelf-life estimates vary but a conservative approximation is that the fruit can be stored in a backroom cooler for 10 days and can be displayed in your produce department for 5-8 days.
