    Wow my wife started buying these Halo mandarin oranges and they are awesome!
    Seedless, easy to peel, they are perfect! You can't stop eating them. If they sel them
    near you, grab some.

    We do indeed have them here. Are they similar to Clementines?

    I mean these oranges are great. They are a "no mess" orange too, which is a plus. They have a small version called cupids but they aren't as good IMO.

    Speaking of foreign fruit, when I was in Bosnia we had these enormous, awesome grapefruits from Israel. They were awesome!

    Back in the 90's when my friends and I were really big into hiking and backpacking we used to run across farmers growing all types of weird citrus fruit in the back country. The desert areas of East county near Borrego Springs were especially well know for giant ass grape fruit but I never did like the taste of grape fruit.
