Sweetie Grapefruit Oroblanco
- sweetest grapefruit
Sweetie Grapefruit Oroblanco was developed as a cross between a diploid acidless pomelo and a seedy white tetreploid grapefruit, resulting in a triploid seedless fruit that is less acidic and less bitter than the grapefruit
Sweetie Grapefruit Oroblancos are either round- or oval-shaped with a thicker rind than grapefruit. When eaten, an oroblanco is much more sweeter than normal grapefruits even when the outer peel is still green.
