MINNEOLA
Originating in Florida, USA, it is known from the beginning
of 1930s. It is the result of a cross between Duncan grapefruit
with Dancy tangerine. The rind has not only exceptional colour,
being reddish-orange, but also has a particularly fine, smooth
texture and is an easypeeling. Minneolas have a unique and
delicious flavour and have also a high percentage of juice.
Large in size, the fruit has a round shape, with most fruits
having a pronounced and distinctive neck, which leads to its
immediate recognition by consumers. When grown in a solid
block the fruit has few if any seeds.
Its harvesting period is from mid of June to the end of July.
