FL Mandarin / Tangelo Oranges — Sweet & Delicious🍊🍊

For those looking for a sweet delicious orange I bought these today at Publix 3 lb bag $4.49. They are grown in FL kinda remind me of tangelos.

I think I ate 1/2 the bag already -- even used in my salad tonight with a vinegarette raspberry blush dressing.  Yummmmm

 

I bought Halos last week they were good too!

Tomorrow going back for another bag to make some orange sorbet or orange ice cream,  I love 🍊s

@homedecor1 YES! This is the time of the year when the oranges are available that are easy to peel, and are juicy and delicious! Enjoy them now until at least the end of Feb.- middle of March.

 

To you health!

Hi guys!

I know that I am in the distinct minority, but I actually prefer the white grapefruit sections and juice to the pink or "ruby red".

It is easier to hit the lottery than to find white juice or sections anymore!

Do you have to live in Florida to get white grapefruit  or am I just not looking in the right places?

I grew up with a white grapefruit tree at our back door.  Some would get 6" across!  They will always be my favorite!
