During preconditioning, a great deal of heat is generated within each box of fruit. That heat must be quickly dissipated in order for the fruit to cool; otherwise, it becomes too soft and loses much of its flavor. Two-layer boxes don’t allow enough airflow for that quick cooling to take place, resulting in uneven preconditioning, dangerous heat buildup and noticeable flavor loss.
That’s why Gerawan Farming uses single-layer Euro boxes, designed to provide uninhibited airflow for fast cooling and uniform preconditioning. Additionally, these boxes reduce heat accumulation during transport, storage and handling, which preserves the uniformity of the fruit. Single-layer Euro boxes — smart enough to preserve and protect the sweet, natural flavor Prima® brand fruit is known for.
