Not for juicing
Arizona: Most citrus sold as fresh fruit
Mark Isaacs, president of Sun Orchard Juicery in Tempe, gave a reason for this difference.
“West Coast fruit tends to be more appealing to the eye than East Coast fruit,” Isaacs said. East and West Coast fruits taste a lot different, he said.
East Coast fruit is usually sweeter and makes for better juicing, in part because of soil differences, growing conditions and climate.
