A tangelo is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid between a tangerine and a grapefruit or pomelo. It is known for its sweet and tangy flavor, making it a popular choice for fresh eating and juicing. The fruit typically has a loose, easy-to-peel skin and is often larger than a tangerine. Tangelos are usually round or slightly pear-shaped and can vary in color from yellow-orange to deep orange. They are rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, contributing to their health benefits. Tangelos are typically in season from late fall to early spring, making them a refreshing winter fruit.
