Varieties
Minneola tangelo
The Minneola tangelo is a citrus fruit hybrid of 'Duncan' grapefruit and 'Dancy' tangerine. Citrus is a common term and Genus of Flowering plants in the family Rutaceae, originating in tropical and subtropical southeast regions of The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context and the term is not synonymous in Food preparation and Biology. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa. It was released in 1931 by the United States Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Station in Orlando. Orlando is a major City in central Florida, USA and is the County seat of Orange County Florida. The fruit is extremely juicy and sweet with a slight tartness. The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context and the term is not synonymous in Food preparation and Biology. Its rind and flesh are both a bright orange in color, a deeper shade than that of an orange. An orange —specifically the sweet orange —is the Citrus fruit Citrus sinensis ( syn It has a thicker than average white skin beneath the peel and above the fruit. The Minneola tangelo has a very short (4 week) harvest during January and February.
Orlando tangelo
This early maturing tangelo is noted for its juicy, mild, sweet flavor. Flavor or flavour is the sensory impression of a Food or other substance, and is determined Orlandos are flat-round in shape and larger in size. The shape ( OE sceap Eng created thing) of an object located in some space refers to the part of space occupied by the object as determined California/Arizona Orlandos have a slightly pebbled texture, good interior and exterior color, very few seeds and a tight fitting rind. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. The State of Arizona ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. A seed (in some plants referred to as a kernel) is a small embryonic Plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat usually with some stored Orlando tangelos are available from mid-November to the beginning of February. The Orlando tangelo originated as a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine. W. T. Swingle of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is credited with creating the hybrid in 1911. When the Orlando tangelo was first cultivated, it was known by the name Lake Tangelo. The trees of this variety grow to a large size and are easily recognized by their cup-shaped leaves. Orlando tangelos are recognized as being one of the more cold-tolerant varieties. However, because the Orlando tangelo is incompatible with pollination, it is suggested that they be planted with other varieties of oranges to encourage pollination.
Drug interactions
Studies by the USDA have so far shown that unlike grapefruit, interactions with statins are not likely with tangelos, even though it is derived from a grapefruit crossed with a tangerine. The statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) form a class of hypolipidemic drugs used to lower Cholesterol levels in people with or at risk of Cardiovascular This is apparently because the furocoumarins in grapefruit are not expressed in tangelos. Furanocoumarins, or furocoumarins, are a class of organic chemical compounds produced by a variety of plants [2]
