Jamaican tangelo

The ugli fruit, also known as Jamaican tangelo, is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid of a grapefruit, an orange, and a tangerine. It is known for its rough, wrinkled, greenish-yellow rind and sweet-tart flavor. The name "ugli" is derived from its unappealing appearance, which is the opposite of its delicious taste. The fruit is primarily grown in Jamaica, where it is also called uvlia in Hebrew, although this translation is not commonly used. In Spanish, it is known as fruta fea (ugly fruit) or tangelo jamaiquino, and in French, it is called fruit laid (ugly fruit) or tangelo jamaïcain. The ugli fruit is typically in season from December to April and is enjoyed fresh, in salads, or juiced. It is rich in vitamins C and A, making it a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
