The FruitGuys Review & Giveaway **CLOSED**

I LOVE fruit, but sadly where I live there just never seems to be a good variety of fresh fruit. When I go to the store to get fruit I usually come back with not very much because nothing looked fresh. Now that I have a child, it's even more important to me to have fresh fruit and I want fruit from a place that I trust. I recently discovered a place that I can trust, has fresh organic fruit, and delivers right to my door! Who is this amazing company? It's called The FruitGuys!

About The FruitGuys (from their website):
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in San Francisco, The FruitGuys has pioneered this fast-growing category that provides viable solutions to the ever-challenging workplace health crisis. The company was founded on the premise that bringing healthy brain food to the office can boost productivity, improve wellness and help companies improve their bottom lines.


Our buyers are hard at work early in the morning every day, selecting for quality and taste among fruits that were picked fresh from the field just hours earlier. When the fruit arrives at our warehouse later in the day, we carefully inspect each case, making certain that it meets our exacting standards. Then, that same afternoon as we hand pack your order, each piece of fruit is examined once again for quality, taste and ripeness. You receive this hand-selected fruit the next day.
My Review:
I was so surprised at how fast the crate of fruit arrived at our door. It was literally within 24 hours that I received the yummy fruit. The crate was huge and inside I found the most delicious fruit!
On the top layer I discovered bananas, grapes, apples, oranges, mangos, plums, blood oranges, tangerines, and tangelos.
On the bottom layer I discovered a variety of pears, apples, and more oranges.
 
I was impressed on how perfect all of the fruit looked and even better, the taste was amazing! I always have a hard time picking out fruit because I have no idea how to pick them. With The FruitGuys, experts are picking the fruit and they make sure you receive delicious and fresh fruit. Every fruit was as good as the next. We loved all of them, but our favorites were the grapes (which were nothing like any grapes we had ever tried before...they were an amazing mixture of sweetness and a little tart), mangos, plums, and the blood oranges. I loved how there was a great mixture of fruit and there were a lot of fruits that could last for awhile so I didn't have to worry about them spoiling quickly. We did have to eat the bananas fairly quickly though since they were ripe when we got them, but we didn't mind! Plus, we like to freeze some of our banans for banana bread and smoothies.
 
Another great plus is the huge box they come in! I was going to throw it out, but then I discovered Tobin inside of it eating his grapes. The box has become his favorite spot to play in, so this was icing on the cake!
The FruitGuys is an amazing company and it's also very affordable! We are now thinking of ordering our fruit from them and I had a price in mind and then I checked their prices and was amazed to see that it was a lot less than I had imagined, especially for organic fruit! Also, the variety changes every week according to what's fresh and available so that way each order most likely won't be exactly the same as the last! In some areas they deliver vegetables as well. So for all your fruit needs, check out The FruitGuys!
 
GIVEAWAY: The FruitGuys has generously offered a fresh fruit crate delivery for one LUCKY winner!
