Oroblanco fruit


Oroblanco was large, greenish grapefruit which is very sweet and juicy inside. It was a white grapefruit sprinkled with sugar and less bitterness.

Oroblanco, The White Gold of Grapefruits is Frieda Caplan's favorite fruit. Oroblanco is a cross developed at the University of California-Riverside in 1958. The wonderful thing about the Oroblanco is there is no bitterness. Oroblanco is a favorite grapefruit of many farmers’ market shoppers. It’s an ideal balance of sweet, tart and delicious piney flavor.

Oroblanco have a green-tinged outside skin, but the inside flesh is pale yellow. The fruit was so sweet and juicy.
