Quick Summary

The tangelo is a hybrid fruit, created by crossing a tangerine or mandarin orange with a grapefruit. The name itself is a portmanteau of "tangerine" and "pomelo" (a type of grapefruit).12

Tangelos are known for their loose, easy-to-peel skin and juicy, flavorful pulp, similar to tangerines. They are cultivated in subtropical regions. Some commercially marketed varieties include Minneola, Orlando, Dancy, and Seminole.1
