Ugli® Tangelo Fruit
Preparation, uses, and tips
Ugli fruit makes a delicious addition to fruit salads or green salads. Eaten raw as a snack, it is best to peel the fruit and divide it into sections like an orange, rather than the traditional way of scooping grapefruit from the segments after it is cut in half.
Buying and storing tips
Expect wrinkled, loose skin along with greenish spots and an overall light orange color, clues almost the opposite of what to look for in other orange hybrids. The fruit will last in the refrigerator for one to two weeks.
Varieties
The Ugli fruit found in the market is not differentiated by variety, but may have skin that is greenish or yellow-orange in color.
Nutrition Highlights
Not available. However, the nutritional content of Ugli fruit is probably comparable to that of other citrus fruits.
