Searching for something unique? We have a broad range of citrus at Florida Golf Fruit, however, one of our favorites is the Honeybell. Most people miss out on the opportunity to buy this fruit because they are only in season for a short period each year. The conditions have to be just right, otherwise you will end up with something that isn't sweet -- and that's not what honeybells are known for.

Honeybell oranges are exceptionally sweet and juicy citrus fruits which only reach peak ripeness during the month of January. Also known as Minneola tangelos, Honeybell oranges are not actually oranges at all. They are a hybrid or cross between the Darcy variety of tangerine and either the Duncan or Bowen variety of grapefruit. This hybridization process, which some sources say can be traced back to the ancient Orient, yields a tangelo with the coloring and size of a grapefruit and the sweetness and juiciness of a tangerine. Honeybell oranges are prized for their sweetness and relative scarcity, along with their abundant supply of juice.

Inside our Honeybell Supreme Fruit Tray we offer two fruit trays of sweet Florida Honeybell Tangelos, and two jars of our exclusive genuine Honeybell marmalades. Enjoy your Honeybell oranges today and save the marmalades for when the "Honeybell Urge" hits and the fruit is all gone!

The tangelo,  Citrus × tangelo, is also widely known as the honeybell. Tangelo is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid of a tangerine and either a pomelo or a grapefruit. The fruits are the size of an adult fist and have a tangerine taste, but are very juicy, to the point of not providing much flesh but producing excellent and plentiful juice. Honeybells generally have loose skin and are easier to peel than oranges. They are easily distinguished from oranges by a characteristic "nose" at the top of the fruit.
