What to know about ugli fruit
Ugli fruit is a Jamaican tangelo, a natural hybrid of grapefruit and tangerine with some Seville orange in the background, sold under a trade name that describes its loose, blotched, unattractive rind rather than the fruit inside, which is sweeter and much less bitter than a grapefruit. That parentage is the single most useful fact about it, and it is not a flavour note. Grapefruit contains furanocoumarins that interfere with a major drug metabolising enzyme, and a grapefruit hybrid can carry them too.
Watch for
- The grapefruit drug interaction is the real caution here.Furanocoumarins in grapefruit inhibit intestinal CYP3A4, which raises blood levels of a long list of medicines including several statins, some calcium channel blockers, certain immunosuppressants and some anxiolytics. Grapefruit hybrids including tangelos are generally treated as carrying the same caution. If your medication label says avoid grapefruit, that advice extends here.
- Every FODMAP column on this row is unrated rather than clean, and the grades it does carry are shared byte for byte with a block of unrelated entries in the alphabetical tail of the dataset.Treat this row as largely untested.
- It is a tangelo, and there is a separate tangelo page.The two are close relatives rather than unrelated fruits, so read them together.
- Citrus peel oil is a contact irritant for some people, and ugli fruit has a lot of loose rind to handle.
- The rind looks damaged even on perfect fruit.Blotches, wrinkles and green patches are normal and are not a sign of spoilage.
