Ugli Fruit

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 halve.

Buying and storing tips

Expect wrinkled, loose skin along with greenish spots and an overall light orange colour, 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 colour.

Nutrition Highlights

Not available. However, the nutritional content of Ugli fruit is probably comparable to that of other citrus fruits.
