When August arrives it brings with it some anxiety that summer is almost over. FruitFlowers™ looks forward to August because the watermelon introduced to the fruit line up in the beginning of summer is at it’s ripest, bringing a sensational sweetness that adds to already juicy, delectable arrangements. The Watermelon Sprinkler™ and The Grand Floral Fruit with Watermelon™ are just two of FruitFlowers™ popular summer offerings for your everyday gift giving needs.

The boys of summer are still swinging their bats playing baseball in August. Score big by sending The Out of the Park™, a great gift, especially when watermelon is added.
Labor Day thoughts are right around the corner and so should thoughts of celebrating at picnics, bar-b-ques and the beach while enjoying the Berry Patriotic™. The Berry Patriotic™ boasts the colors of the American Flag – red, succulent strawberries, white marshmallows among another summer treat of beautiful blueberries, finished off with sweet, juicy pineapple stars!!!

Once Labor Day does arrive so does school. Celebrate your child’s favorite new teacher by sending the Fruit 4 Teacher™. Any of FruitFlowers™ beautiful bouquets can be sent to the classroom for all to enjoy a healthy snack.

FruitFlowers™ is a healthy, nutritious gift that is unique, beautiful and tasty, made entirely of freshly cut fruit. FruitFlowers™ year round freshly cut fruits include strawberries, pineapple, red seedless grapes, kiwi, cantaloupe, and honeydew.

All of the fruit used is purchased from parts of the world where these fruits are in season, and the sun is shining, to ensure the sweetness and quality FruitFlowers™ provides to customers.
Many people focus on their health year round, but it seems more people focus on staying fit in the summer, especially by eating healthy. Fruits and vegetables promote good health and reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

Researchers found that red grapes protect the heart and blood vessels against oxidative damage; they also have resveratol, naturally occurring phenol that inhibits cancer growth at a lot of its stages. So in a nutshell, we should eat more red grapes for our health.

What has a bright green flesh, seeds, and brown, hairy skin that is good for you to eat? Kiwi, of course! This sweet fruit is high in vitamin C and a good source of fiber.
Honeydew melon is high in vitamin C and is a good source of potassium. Cantaloupe is also high in vitamin C and is a good source of vitamin B6 and vitamin A.
Some say that pineapples have a flavor that is a combination of apple, strawberries, and peaches. The name is derived from pina, a name given by the Spanish, since it looked like a pinecone. Pineapples are very rich in vitamin C.

Now let’s look at the health aspects of strawberries. These berries are high in iron, vitamin C, folic acid and cancer-fighting antioxidants. Heart-healthy nutrients in strawberries also include potassium, fiber and folate. It turns out that the heart-shaped strawberry is good for your heart.

After all of these facts, it would seem logical that eating fresh fruits would be a good idea. It would also make a perfect gift. The problem is that it’s not as easy as it may seem. It requires some good timing to allow fruits to get to their proper ripeness and then it can be quite time-consuming to cut the fresh produce. FruitFlowers™ has mastered the art of the healthy fruit treat. Bouquets from Fruitflowers™ are not your normal flowers. These “flowers” pack a punch when it comes to vitamins and nutrition, plus they warm your heart and force a smile.

Delaware has been lucky to have FruitFlowers™ since 1998 when Lorie Marrella, Susan Talluto and Pam Moyer decided to open FruitFowers™. Chester County, PA become equally as fortunate when the three decided to expand a year and a half ago. “This company’s succulent creations allow people to send a friend a juicy treat without the guilt of depleting their health status,” says Talluto.
We can be hopeful that America’s eating habits will get better and better with each passing year. Healthy never had it so good! “These beautiful and delicious bouquets fill the need of consumers demanding nutritious treats while providing a beautiful, ‘tasteful’ (pun intended) gift,” says Marrella.
