Ugli

June 5

It is a citrus created by hybridizing a grapefruit, an orange, and a tangerine. It was discovered growing wild possibly having developed in the same way grapefruit was created in Jamaica, where it is mainly grown today. The name is a variation of the word "ugly", which refers to the fruit's unsightly appearance, with rough, wrinkled, greenish-yellow rind, wrapped loosely around the orange pulpy citrus inside Ugli is a Jamaican fruit.  

The fruit at it's beginning is a light green color but when the fruit it's at its best the color changes to orange. It is usually bigger than a grapefruit and it has fewer seeds. When you open it it looks like an orange and it is very juicy. The taste is more sour than the orange and less bitter than the tangerine, but it is often described like a lemon-tangerine flavor. This fruit is good for you because the juice of the Ugli has many nutrients and it helps you in the morning.
