Minneolas

The California minneola is a hybrid of a grapefruit variety and a tangerine variety. Minneolas have a very deep orange skin and a deliciously, tart-sweet flavor. Easy-to-peel and segment, like the mandarin, the minneola is identifiable by its "knob" on the stem end. Juicy and sweet, minneolas are great for snacking. California minneolas are available mid-February through March.
