Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 An Ugli fruit is different from a Pomelo. An Ugli seems to have much thinner skin. (I think that site featured a pomelo photo, and spelled " Ugli " wrong, too... Hmmm.. .according to this: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/teach/msg0509345323805.html " Ugli fruit is a registered trade name for cross between a mandarin orange and a pomelo.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Most of the other sites I've seen said it's a cross between a mandarin orange and a grapefruit, though. Some mysteries may never be revealed All this makes me want to eat one!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 ugli fruit = uniq fruit This grapefruit-mandarin cross looks like a grapefruit in an ill- fitting suit. It's sweet and juicy, though, and simple to eat since the peel comes off easily and the fruit pulls apart into tidy segments that are virtually seedless. Americans pronounce the name " ugly, " but in Jamaica, where it's grown, it's pronounced " HOO-glee. " Some marketers have tried calling it " uniq fruit, " but the name hasn't caught on much. Ugli fruit are available from December through April. Most specimens are much uglier than the one pictured here, but don't let that deter you. Select fruits that are heavy for their size, and that give a little when you press them. Substitutes: grapefruit (not as sweet) OR orange (smaller) pomelo = pummelo = Chinese grapefruit = shaddock Pronunciation: PUHM- uh-low Notes: This has a very thick peel, so you have to work hard to eat it. Many people think it's worth the trouble, for the pulp is milder and sweeter than its closest substitute, the grapefruit. Substitutes: grapefruit (more acidic and more bitter) rawfood , " Bridgitte " <syndactylcat> wrote: > rawfood , Margie Roswell <mroswell@f...> wrote: > > Pomelo > > http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/pomelo.htm > > > Looks similar to this: > > http://www.dennisgreenltd.com/ExtraLifeClub/Fruits/Ugly_Fruit.html > > Wonder if they are the same thing? > > Bridgitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
