ugli
Jamaican hybrid fruit
Ugli is a citrus fruit, a hybrid of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine.
The name comes from its appearance—the rind is rough, loose, and mottled with greenish-yellow patches.
Despite looking unappetizing, the flesh is sweet and easy to peel.
Also spelled uglifruit.
Trademarked as Ugli fruit.
