The shape, size, colour and flavour of pears vary a lot according to the variety. They are rich in simple sugars, above all fructose; their high potassium content makes them suitable for low sodium diets. This fruit helps regulate blood pressure and it helps to lower cholesterol. Varieties available: Abbot, green Williams and red Williams, Saint Mary, Kaiser, Ercolini, Carmen.
Different varieties are available: Blood, Sicilian Red, Tarocco, Moorish, Navel, Navelate and Valencia.
Oranges contain 87% water, they are low in fat and protein and they are rich in vitamins.
The Giant Red, Firm Red and other varieties that we are testing have lots of potential particularly for large scale distribution, considering the success they have obtained; they are distinguished for their optimum calibre and for their incomparable taste. The Piedmontese production is absolutely remarkable.
Furthermore, RKG represents a group of American producers in Europe: these cherries are available on our markets when the European production is already over; the flavour value of this fruit increases consumption every year.
We have the exclusive rights to represent Surexport Italy, one of the major Spanish producers of strawberries and small red berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. This group also has the exclusive rights of use for the Plant Sciences’ selected varieties, an internationally acknowledged research centre Plant Sciences, which uses traditional and innovative hybridizing techniques, and has managed to produce varieties that have an excellent flavour, with an even shape and optimum calibre, resistance to parasites and diseases and high productivity. RKG even markets fruit originating from new Italian cultivations, in particular Piedmontese.
