tangelos

Grapefruit-mandarin offspring fruit

Tangelos are citrus fruits—a hybrid of tangerines and grapefruits or pomelos.

They're typically the size of a fist, with loose, easy-to-peel skin and a distinctive knob at the stem end.

The flesh is juicy and less acidic than grapefruit: I grabbed a tangelo for my lunch.
