The tangelo is a delightful citrus fruit, a hybrid of a tangerine and either a pomelo or grapefruit. Its skin is typically a vibrant orange-red, easily peeled, and often slightly loose around the fruit. The flesh inside is juicy, sweet with a subtly tart flavor, and low in acidity compared to other citrus fruits. Tangelos are known for their easy-to-segment structure and few to no seeds, making them a popular and convenient snack.

Tangelos are best stored at room temperature if you plan to use them within a few days. To extend their shelf life, refrigerate them in the crisper drawer. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and lead to spoilage. Properly stored, tangelos can last up to two weeks in the refrigerator. Check for any signs of softness or mold before using.
