Description:

Oroblancos is yellow-green at maturity and rind is thicker than a typical Grapefruit. The fruit ball center has pale yellow or white, seedless flesh. This variety is mild and exceptionally sweet, unlike the traditional sour flavor. There is not the usual bitter aftertaste like most varieties. The Oroblanco offers the perfect balance of sweetness with a hint of acidity that is perfectly firm and juicy!


Oroblancos are a hybrid of the acidless Siamese Sweet Pummelo, and a Duncan, a white seedy Grapefruit, developed at University of California, Riverside in the 1950’s. This hybrid was created for California growers to produce a well-balanced variety because Grapefruit needs high heat to maximize balanced flavors and California simply could not reach those temperatures in winter.


Eat fresh with a spoon and no need to sprinkle sugar. Feature Oroblancos fresh with Watercress, Walnuts, and a vinaigrette. We are looking forward to Oroblanco Sorbet this season! This variety’s sweetness is unlike any other Grapefruit we’ve tried!
