tangelo
Orchard-bred hybrid fruit
A tangelo is a citrus fruit—a hybrid of tangerine and grapefruit or pomelo.
Tangelos are typically sweeter and less acidic than grapefruit, with loose, easy-to-peel skin and a distinctive knob at the stem end.
The Minneola is the most common variety: I grabbed a tangelo from the fruit bowl.
