Name: Ugli fruit
Brand: Beats me
Place of Purchase: HyVee Foods in Ames, Iowa
Country/Region of Origin: Jamaica
Price in Iowa: 89-cents for a nice-sized fruit
Description: A mutant grapefruit
Flavor: So sour your momma will pucker.
Aroma: A fresh, citrus aroma
Texture/Mouth-feel: Super juicy. Explosively succulent.
Notes: Supposedly, the ugli fruit is a wild tangelo native to Jamaica. When it's ripe and orange, it becomes very sweet. Yet again, I did not wait long enough for ripening. The citrus flavor of this fruit is intense, but unless it is properly-ripened it is super tart. While the ugli fruit is unbelievably juicy, a mouth full of sour juice is even more shocking.
Someday, I'll learn patience.
