Organic citrus
Organic citrus are residues free,
ripened at the right period and it
is scientifically proved that their contents in sugars, vitamins and
aromas are higher than those ones obtained with conventional
techniques.
According to the current definition the name “citrus”
identifies trees with acid fruits, like oranges, lemons and soft citrus (i.e.
mandarins, clementines). The term “citrus” is
usually used for both tree and fruit.
Here below you can find a table
containing the average harvest period for each organic citrus variety in Geima
