Mandarins
Specialty Varieties
Minneolas
The Minneola tangela is a specific hybrid citrus fruit that is made by crossing the Duncan or Bowen grapefruit and the Darcy variety of tangerine, also called a mandarin orange. The fruit combines the sweetness of the mandarin with the tart flavors of the grapefruit, and it is highly prized for its juiciness and combination of sweet/sour flavors.
Grapefruit
The grapefruit is a subtropical citrus tree grown for its fruit which was originally named the forbidden fruit of Barbados. The fruit is yellow-orange skinned, largely oblate and ranges in diameter from 10-15 cm. The flesh is segmented and acidic, varying in color depending on the cultivars, which include white, pink and red pulps of varying sweetness.
Key Limes
Available year-round, Key limes are much smaller than their traditional counterparts. This seeded variety ripens quickly, but is juicy with a thin skin and a subtly sweet flavor, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen.
Limes
Immensely popular in cooking and seasonings, this globular citrus has a greenish yellow skin with a juicy, slightly acidic pulp. Limes also sport tremendous health benefits and are rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants.
Lemons
Lemon trees produce year-round with blossoms, buds and mature fruit appearing all at once on the tree. Lemons are usually hand-picked, and should look firm and have a glossy, bright yellow color. The skin should also have a fine-graded appearance.
Cara Cara Oranges
The Cara Cara navel, or red-fleshed navel orange, is an early-mid season navel orange believed to have developed as a cross between the Washington navel and the Brazilian Bagia navel. This medium-sized navel is sweet and low in acid. The flavor is more complex than most navel varieties and has been described as evoking notes of cherry, rose petal, orange and blackberry.
Maroc Late Oranges
This late season Morrocan orange is sweet and juicy, with an intense citrus flavor. The skin has an attractive rich, golden hue making it the perfect balance of sweetness and zest.
Midknight Oranges
A cross between the Navel and Valencia oranges. It is a seedless fruit and is exceptionally juicy.
Orris
The Orri is a cross between the Temple Tangor and Kinnow mandarin varieties. Known for its intense orange color and strong citrus aroma, this mostly seedless variety has an easy to peel, smooth skin and a well-balanced flavor profile.
Tango
The Tango mandarin has very similar eating qualities to the W. Murcott, boasting an easily peeled skin and separable flesh that’s up to 50% juice. This hybrid is completely seedless and only has limited availability.
W. Murcott / Nadorcott
One of the most popular mandarin varieties, the W. Murcott is more resilient to colder temperatures than other mandarin varieties. The flesh is easy to peel and harbors easily separable, juicy sections which may or may not contain seeds.
Oronules/Orogrande
A clementine of the Nules family, this early season citrus often bridges the gap between production zones.
