Tangelos are currently in season which makes them an excellent frugal choice during your meal planning.
What is a tangelo?
A tangelo is a hybrid tangerine crossed with either a pomelo or a grapefruit. They taste like a tangerine, but they produce a lot more juice.
In the picture you can see the tangelo’s identifying “nipple”.
How do I select a good tangelo?
Tangelos should have smooth, red-orange skin. Try to select the tangelos that feel heavy for their size.
How do I eat a tangelo?
Tangelos are best eaten like an orange. (They are actually easier to peel than oranges.) You can also use them in salads as a replacement for mandarin oranges.
