Just Ripe Preconditioned
Tree Fruit


Just Ripe is just right, thanks to our special preconditioned tree fruit program. Preconditioning yields appetizing color, more juiciness and flavor, low acidity, high sweetness, better size, longer shelf life (less shrink) and great consistency, for fruit that will keep your customers happy…and coming back for more!

We keep our Just Ripe program small and manageable, with a limited grower base that helps us ensure maximum quality and reliability.  With Just Ripe fruit, you’re assured of timely availability, high color, optimum pressures and sugars, superior quality and unsurpassed taste.

To further catch the customer’s eye and increase demand, we provide high-impact graphics in a wide range of powerful merchandising materials including our new, full color preprint package.

Nectarines

The most flavorful California nectarines come from Z&S.

Z&S offers only the best selection of nectarine varieties distinguished by unparalleled sweetness, flavor and color. Our nectarines are available year-round from California and Chile, and come in bags, clamshells, trays and other pack styles under the Z&S Fresh! and Just Ripe labels.

White Flesh


Z&S offers delicious white flesh peaches and nectarines to satisfy the growing consumer demand for these uniquely firm, sweet specialties.  Through judicious pruning and scientific orchard management, our Summerwhite and sub-acid peaches and nectarines take sweetness and flavor to the peak of perfection.  We go the “extra mile” to achieve optimum maturity, high brix levels and appetizing coloration, by harvesting frequently and hand-picking the fruit with cotton gloves…all to ensure superior quality and volume all year long.  White flesh peaches and nectarines are available in our Sweet Discoveries brand.

Plums - Pluots

They're fresh from California and packed full of color and flavor. 

They’re pluots and plums from Z&S.  (What’s a pluot?  It’s a juicy, delicious hybrid that’s 2/3 plum and 1/3 apricot…and which is growing more popular every day!)   Our plums and pluots are available in over 200 different varieties including our own proprietary ZS Black and ZS Red plum varieties.  We’ve taken steps to ensure that only the best tasting, most popular varieties are packed – your guarantee of consistent quality. Our plums are available year-round from California and Chile, and our premium-selected varieties allow you to build multiple variety displays with contrasting colors, shapes, sizes and flavors.  Z&S plums and pluots are available in bags, clamshells and trays under the Z&S Fresh!, Just Ripe, Sweet Discoveries and Dragonhearts labels.
