These tangelos are harvested only when fully ripe, ensuring they deliver the signature sweet-tart flavor that our customers have come to expect.
Unique Characteristics of Minneola Tangelos
Minneola Tangelos are a hybrid cross between a Dancy tangerine and a Duncan grapefruit, first introduced in 1931 by the USDA. True-to-type Minneolas are instantly recognizable by their distinctive bell-shaped neck and bright reddish-orange rind. Inside, the flesh is exceptionally juicy, aromatic, and offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, reflecting the best traits of its parent fruits. These tangelos are easy to peel, making them a favorite for snacking and cooking.
Health Benefits of Fresh Minneola Tangelo Fruit

They also contain dietary fiber, which aids digestion, and potassium, which supports heart health. With their naturally low calorie count, Minneola citrus makes a guilt-free addition to any diet.
