What are tangelos?

Tangelos are a citrus fruit hybrid, resulting from crossbreeding a grapefruit with a mandarin. This tangy blend creates a taste experience unlike any other, with the balance of sweetness and slightly tart citrus flavor. Visually, tangelos often resemble large oranges but tend to have a smoother exterior with fewer bumps. When choosing ripe tangelos, opt for fruits that yield to a slight squeeze and give off a fragrant citrus aroma. These delicious and distinctive fruits make for enjoyable snacks and are also superb options for juicing, adding a twist to culinary dishes, and even crafting artisanal citrus desserts.
