But that mindset flies in the face of the traditional advice that fruits
For US consumers, the 1970s brought a new wave of tropical fruits to restaurants and grocery stores. Since then, what was once a niche market has become far more mainstream, thanks to advances in transportation and storage, plus increased awareness and consumer demand.

In the fall of 2024, back-to-back hurricanes Helene and Milton made landfall in Florida and tore through its orchards of fresh citrus fruits.
