With more than 2,500 types of citrus worldwide, it would be a shame to limit your larder to lemons and limes. Luckily, many grocers also stock seasonal stunners like Sumo mandarins, yuzu, and pomelos.
Pomelos can jazz up countless dishes and drinks—and they can also step in for their juicy junior relative. "They can be substituted for grapefruits in recipes if you want a less sharp bite and a ...
The oroblanco is a triploid citrus hybrid, resulting from a cross between an acidless pomelo (C. grandis Osbeck) [1] and the Marsh grapefruit [2] (C. paradisi Macf.). [1] Its fruit is seedless with pale yellow flesh [3] [4] and is slightly less juicy than other grapefruits, [2] [5] though it does have a juice content of roughly thirty percent. [6]
The mandelo was developed in the 1950s at the UC Citrus Experiment Station, but then escaped into public orchards. [1] [3] It is a yellow-orange fleshed tri-specific citrus hybrid between a 'Frua' hybrid mandarin ('Dancy' mandarin × 'King tangor') [4] and a Siamese Sweet pomelo. [3]

The flesh tastes like mild grapefruit, with a little of its common bitterness (the grapefruit is a hybrid of the pomelo and the orange).
The grapefruit, like many cultivated Citrus species, is a hybrid, in its case of the sweet orange and pomelo. [29] Grapefruit originated as a natural hybrid. [30] One ancestor of the grapefruit was the Jamaican sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), itself an ancient hybrid of Asian origin; the other was the Indonesian pomelo (C. maxima). [1]
In 1958, CRC 2240 (pomelo) Robert K. Soost and James W. Cameron crossed with a seedy, white, tetraploid grapefruit. Two of the triploid offspring had particularly favorable characteristics. One was released in 1980 as 'Oroblanco'. The second was released as Melogold. Oroblanco was more similar to grapefruit, while Melogold was more similar to ...
