It’s UGLI!
It’s lumpy rind looks like it is rotting and it’s soft to the touch.
After reading about this citrus cousin to the grapefruit/taneglo family, in the May issue of Bicycling, I was curious …
I headed to Mustard Seed, Solon, to pick up a few of my favorite things: cocoa locos, the best, healthy chocolate chip cookies on earth, honey oat bagels, big enough to feed two people, Stevia, a natural sweetener, and the UGLI fruit.
I stared at the UGLI fruits, which are really a tangelos, for a while. Then I touched and squeezed its mushy coating – all the while wondering what was underneath that lumpy looking rind.
I was pleasantly surprised to peel the rind and find a juicy, sweet orange-like fruit.
I am hooked.
Now my curiosity was really piqued. I wanted to know more about the UGLI brand. My research guided me to the UGLI homepage, where I read about the history of the fruit, the producers of the UGLI brand, and the delicious recipes that can be made with tangelos.
With my curiosity satisfied about the UGLI fruit, it’s time to learn about
acai, acerola, cherimoya, goji berry and prickly pear. These tongue twister names are playing upon my curiosity too
Happy eating!
