A story powered by collaboration and driven by purpose.
SummerStar Ruby isn’t just a grapefruit – it’s a bold new chapter in South Africa’s citrus legacy. Grown in the ideal climatic conditions and rich soils of South Africa, SummerStar Ruby reflects the richness of our land and the spirit of our people – resilient, community-driven, and deeply connected to nature.
At the heart of our initiative is a collaborative network of passionate growers, who believe in the power of doing things differently. United by a shared vision, we’re on a mission to reignite global appreciation for South African Star Ruby grapefruit (SummerStar Ruby). Our SummerStar Rubies have a reputation for exceptional quality and versatility and are known for their distinctive sweet and tangy flavour, and natural goodness. Whether sliced into a salad, blended into a drink, or simply enjoyed on its own.
The growers who have joined forces to promote SummerStar Ruby Grapefruits form part of the Citrus Growers Association of Southern Africa (CGA). The collaboration is overseen and driven by the Grapefruit Variety Focus Group Committee.
SummerStar Ruby invites you to taste grapefruit, reimagined.
