Ugli fruit ( Citrus paradisi )


Fruit Warehouse | Ugli fruit ( Citrus paradisi ) | It has an unsightly appearance with rough, wrinkled, greenish-yellow Rind, wrapped loosely around the orange pulpy citrus inside. UGLI is the trademark of Cabel Hall Citrus Limited and the which it sells under its Jamaican tangelo, a citrus fruit created by hybridizing a grapefruit (or pomelo), an orange and a tangerine. Its species is Citrus reticulata × Citrus paradisi.



The light green surface blemishes turn orange when the fruit is at its peak ripeness. The flesh is very juicy and tends towards the sweet side of the tangerine rather than the bitter side of its grapefruit lineage, with a fragrant Rind. The fruit is seasonal from December to April.
