The tangelo has a rather unique characteristic – a kind of knob at the stem end of the fruit that gives it something of a bell shape. The two fruits are also very different when it comes to shape – like a clementine, tangerines are round and slightly squashy. The mandarin tangerine is about half the size of your average tangelo. Their peels are a rich, reddish-orange in color, for one thing for another, they both have easy-to-peel “zipper” skins, which makes them great take-along fruits. Tangelos have a couple of things in common with tangerines. They’re also known as Minneola Oranges and Honeybells. The similarity of the name “tangelo” to “ tangerine” is no mistake – tangelo oranges are a cross between a Dancy tangerine and a Duncan grapefruit (the “lo” part of “tangelo” comes from “pomelo,” the fruit from which grapefruit originated). But who can blame us? With a zesty fragrance and a sweet-and-tangy flavor that bursts over your tastes buds the moment you bite into it, these juicy, bell-shaped beauties are citrus perfection – virtually seedless, easy to peel, and amazingly snackable!Ĭan it be possible that you’ve never tasted a tangelo? If so, you’re in for a treat! Allow us to introduce you to this increasingly popular citrus hybrid. Some of us look forward to the time of year when tangelos are in season with a passion that just may border on fanatical.
