— FRUIT – CITRUS
Ugli fruit
Why this fruit is called ‘Ugli’ is pretty clear. Ugli fruit does not look very appetizing with its green-yellow, wrinkled and crumpled skin. But “don’t judge a book by its cover”. The Jamaican citrus fruit is incredibly flavourful and sweet. A combination of mandarin, grapefruit and orange.
