Citrus

Citrus fruits, represented by lemons and oranges, have long been valued for their health benefits. Historically, they were used to prevent scurvy caused by vitamin deficiencies, and have been recognized as an important food for maintaining good health. In recent years, their antioxidant properties, which are believed to help prevent aging, cancer, and arteriosclerosis, have also been increasingly recognized.
Funasho Shoji handles a wide range of citrus varieties sourced from around the world, from familiar favorites to rare and unique varieties. At the time of our founding, we handled only five products, three of which were oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. Since then, our lineup has expanded to include diverse varieties such as Murcott, which resembles mandarin oranges, Mineola, similar to small Dekopon, and recently developed varieties such as Melogold. At the same time, our three core citrus fruits of oranges, lemons, and grapefruits continue to be supplied year-round through our global relay of production regions.
