ugli: a citrus fruit hybrid between a grapefruit and a tangerine native to Jamaica. It is available around the country from Winter to Spring. It has an acid-sweet flavour and is an excellent source of vitamin C.

They are served with white rice and miso soup as part of the traditional Japanese breakfast, and are also used to flavour sauces and salad dressings.
