Wekiwa
Inventory, 25 lbs : 0
Description/Taste
Wekiwa is a hybrid of a Sampson tangelo and an unknown type of grapefruit. Technically, their parentage makes Wekiwas a tangelolo, because of their tangelo parent, but they are usually just called tangelos. (Tangelos are crosses of a tangerine and a grapefruit or pomelo.) Other names for the Wekiwa are Lavender Gem and pink tangelo. These citruses are sometimes called baby grapefruits because they look so similar to grapefruits but in a smaller size. They are medium-small and generally round. The rind is a pale yellow, similar to common grapefruits. Inside, the flesh is pink and holds few seeds. The taste is tender, juicy, sweet, and a little tart.
Seasons/Availability
Wekiwa tangelo is available mid-winter through early spring.
