FUN FOOD FACT #28:

It is a new citrus fruit - bred by crossing a grapefruit with an orange or tangerine. It is grapefruit sized, but loose-skinned, like a tangerine with pinkish orange flesh that's sweeter than grapefruit and nearly seedless. Ugli fruit originated in Jamaica, but is now grown in Florida. It can be found in specialty produce markets in the winter and early spring. Use ugli fruit as you would grapefruit or oranges - as a breakfast fruit or in salads and desserts.
