Honeybells or Tangelos? Sweet Either Way!

Are they called honeybells or tangelos?  Much like a rose, honeybells are still sweet by any other name.  The succulent, juicy sweetness of honeybells is legendary.  People are known to eat honeybells over a sink or tub to catch all the juice from these citrus delights.

 
Honeybells got their name for an obvious reason – their sweetness.  The sweet taste of honeybells is irresistible.  Like nature's candy, honeybells contain natural sugar and color rather than artificial junk.  Honeybells are also fat-free, unlike overly sweet candies and cakes.  You can enjoy sensational honeybells without all the guilt!
 
Another reason for the name honeybell is the distinctive shape of this desirable citrus fruit.  Honeybells don't look like oranges or other citrus fruit.  They have a deep reddish orange peel with a stem-end neck.  The stem neck gives the fruit a bell-like shape, giving the name honeybell a distinctive ring.
 
Honeybells are also frequently referred to as Minneola tangelos.  This name also makes perfect sense because honeybells are hybrids of a tangerine and grapefruit.  Grapefruits are also called pummelos.  When you combine the words tangerine and pummelo, you get a tangelo.  That's a catchy name for honeybells, too.
 
Whether you decide to call them honeybells or tangelos, they are definitely delicious.  In 1931, honeybells were released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Station in Orlando, Florida.  Ever since, people have enjoyed tasty segments of Florida honeybells.  For decades, honeybells are a limited edition treat everyone can't wait to get into their hands.
 
Florida is the home of most of the honeybells enjoyed around the country.  The warm, humid Florida climate with plenty of sun is a place where honeybells thrive.  Even in the ideal Florida climate, honeybell crops can unpredictable.  Honeybells are harvested between December and February.  All year long, people look forward to the natural juiciness and sweetness of fresh honeybells.
 
Honeybells make the perfect affordable gift for anyone on your holiday list.  Unlike other edibles, honeybells don't require refrigeration and have no fat.  Everyone can enjoy the sweet succulence of honeybells.  People of all ages and diet preferences love to receive honeybells.  From juicing to salads to grilled meats, honeybells are more than a just a yummy snack.
 
Send honeybells to business associates, employees and key clients.  When they share the honeybells with their friends and visitors, it also promotes your business.  You know everyone will want to know who had the good taste to send honeybells for the holidays.
 
Gift baskets filled with honeybells are perfect for holiday parties and family gatherings.  Rather than buying an individual gift for everyone when you might not know who is attending, you simply bring a basket overflowing with honeybells.  Everyone who see the baskets is sure to want to feast on a tantalizing honeybell.
 
The sweet delight of these citrus fruits are the same whether you call them honeybells or tangelos.  Whatever you decide to call them, just make sure to include honeybells in your gift baskets and serve plenty of tangelos on your tables!
