Whether you are ordering fruit baskets or making your own, you still need to take the time to consider what fruits you want to include. While you may want citrus selections including grapefruit, navel oranges, and tangerines, you may also want to include other seasonal fruits such as apples, strawberries, blueberries, cherries and maybe even bananas. The selections you make will also be based on whether you are creating a basic fruit basket or actually want to create an edible arrangement of different fruits, with or without chocolate or other coatings. Edible arrangements and fruit baskets can make very attractive centerpieces and table decorations. Do not think for a moment a floral arrangement will be more colorful because there are many different methods one can employ in order to add color to fruit baskets such as food dyes and dipping of the fruits in multi-colored sprinkles. Of course, choosing fruits that are more colorful can also add color to even ordinary fruit baskets. Instead of just citrus fruits such as honeybells, tangerines and clementines, you can add lemons, limes, strawberries and other fruits that will add even a hint of color to the fruit baskets without the need to add any artificial coloring. Before you choose any items for your basket, it is essential to keep the season in mind. It will be much easier and less inexpensive if you choose fruits that are in season. While it is always possible to obtain citrus fruits from Florida all year, getting them when it is in the height of the season will make it less expensive. Many companies order fruits during those times when fruits are fresh from the trees rather than ordering when the fruits are off season and those more
difficult and expensive to obtain. Some fruits are grown inside during colder seasons and are not only less natural than the summer varieties but also more expensive to obtain. When you are making your selections for baskets you also ways to keep in mind whether you are going to include only fresh fruits or whether you want dipped fruits as well. In fact, depending on the occasion you may want to include all dipped fruits in your fruit baskets in order to see the colorful nature of the edible arrangements. You will be able to choose from a variety of colors which will allow you to decorate your arrangement based upon the color scheme of the event or seasonal colors connected to a specific holiday.
