With “Choice Grade” Oroblanco Grapefruit, beauty is merely “skin deep”.  After we grade  the fruit, sometimes we end up with fruit that can be soft to the touch, or can have some blemishes due to sun, wind or even minor hail damage.   Sure these Choice Grade Oroblancos aren’t perfect on the outside, and the sizes in the box can vary, but whatever you do, don’t think for a minute that these grapefruits are not as delicious inside as our premium grade ones! So in order to find a home for all the fruit, we are offering these choice grade Oroblancos directly to you. And because of their little “imperfections,” we can’t sell them at the premium price, which means you get to enjoy all the goodness of your delicious, favorite Oroblanco grapefruit at a discount! How great is that? Get your 20 lbs. of Choice Grade Oros for $35.00 + shipping.

When talking about California grown, Ororblanco Grapefruit, the name refers to the subtle “white” flesh of the fruit, because oro blanco in Spanish literally means “white gold.” Though the technical name of the variety is spelled as one word (Oroblanco), it is commonly accepted spelled as two separate words. Either way, oroblanco or oro blanco grapefruit is a cross between a pomelo and a white grapefruit. Sometimes also referred to as a “Sweetie“, they are indeed sweet while lacking the bitterness of a common grapefruit. With a thicker skin, they are as easy to peel as an orange, and filled with up to 110% of the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin C’ in each one, you will be eager to start your day at the breakfast table ready to… “go for the gold! 

The Melogold Grapefruit is what you get when you cross a low acid Pomelo with a white grapefruit. “Melo” for the sweet ‘mello’ flavor, and “Gold” for the deep yellow color of the skin when they fully turn color. This hybrid has only been around since 1986, but has quickly become a citrus lovers favorite…especially if you want a lower acid grapefruit. Melogolds are very juicy with a “sweet-tart” flavor that lends itself to great tasting recipes, like mixed drinks or fruit salads. You can eat them with a spoon or peel them like an orange or even juice them in the morning for a delicious, healthful, and eye-opening breakfast drink!

Each half order box contains 10 lbs  (approx. 6-12 pieces) of Melogold Grapefruit.
