Oh happy day! The Mineola tangelos are ripe. These are a cross between mandarin oranges and grapefruit. They vary from the size of a regular orange to a small grapefruit, having the loose skin of the mandarin orange and a small knob on the top. They're so sweet and juicy, it's like taking a bite of sunshine. We love to go to the orchard and pick our own. The stems need to be snipped with a clipper because if they're pulled off, the fruit will spoil sooner. With correct picking, they will last in a cool place for weeks. Where else can you get a heaping bucket of Vitamin C for $5.00?
