Ugly Dragon?

Katie and I were at the grocery store and we bought a Dragon fruit for Maddie. It is somewhat strange looking but by no means should it have been called an Ugly fruit? We were confused, then the clerk said they got a new fruit in, and it was called Ugly fruit so she thought maybe this was it. When we got home off to Google I ran, and I found the Ugli fruit!

DRAGON

An ugli fruit is a citrus fruit created by hybridizing a grapefruit (or pomelo according to some sources) and a tangerine[citation needed]. Its species is Citrus reticulata x Citrus paradisi.
It was discovered growing wild in Jamaica where it's mainly grown today. Its name derives from the unsightly appearance of its rough, wrinkled, greenish-yellow skin, wrapped loosely around the orange pulpy citrus inside. The light green surface blemishes turn orange when the fruit is at its peak ripeness. An ugli fruit is slightly smaller than a grapefruit and has fewer seeds. The flesh is very juicy and tends towards the sweet side of the tangerine rather than the bitter side of its grapefruit lineage, with a fragrant skin.

So there you have it! Your new food for the day!
