7 Uncommon Citrus Fruits You've Got To Try - Mango Orange, Rangpur Lime, Chinotto and More!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- Today I'll be introducing you to some uncommon and unusual citrus varieties that you may not have seen before and that you've got to try. Some of these varieties are commonly grown in some countries but relatively unheard of in others. The citrus fruits we'll be talking about and tasting today are Vaniglia Sanguigno (AKA mango orange, vanilla blood orange, and strawberry orange), Tangelo Seminole, Rangpur Lime, Satsuma Mandarin, Encore Mandarin, Cutlers Red Grapefruit and Chinotto. We'll be talking a bit about each citrus variety and tasting the fruits to see what each one is like. The growing requirements for each type is relatively similar to many other citrus, though do consider the cold hardiness of each type when deciding to plant, as some will be more cold hardy than others and also grow to different sizes etc.
More information on anthocyanins and lycopene:
Anthocyanins are water-soluble vacuolar pigments that, may appear red, blue, purple, or black, depending on their pH value. Food plants rich in anthocyanins include blueberries, raspberries, black soybean, and black rice, among many others in the colour range described above. Autumn leaf colours are sometimes derived from anthocyanins too.
Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid hydrocarbon found in tomatoes as well as other red fruits and vegetables, like red carrots, grapefruits, watermelons and papayas

Hey Kalem I am Italian, yes chinotto is one of my favourite drinks. San Pellegrino does a good version in small can. To fully appreciate it you need a real hot sunny day, plenty of ice in a glass with a super cold can of chinotto slowly poured on it. It is one of the best thing you can ever drink in summer in Italy. Sadly is full of sugar so I keep it as a rare treat. :)
El San pellegrino is a awesome drink I like there bottled oak extracts definitely a special drink for special occasions though
Yuk, I can't stand chinotto, I rather have ouzo
I have absolutely no interest in any of this, but the passion this guy has towards plants and the way he shares his knowledge is amazing!
That's cause you're not a gardener
I think what you mean to say is you enjoyed the content(even though it's about something you're not usually interested in)because of his awesome likeable personality.
@@christianluz602 well said 👏
Good exotic fruits are the BOMB
Shut up
I can't believe I only just discovered your channel! I also live in New Zealand and although I don't have any of my own land yet to start my garden, I have a massive dream of trying to grow anything and everything, so I am so happy that you have all these videos about growing in our NZ climate which I find is very unique to other places around the world. Keep doing what you're doing, and I'm loving your videos a lot so far! Also one of the easiest subscribes ever 😆
Satsumas are the best. I have 3 grown trees outside and I have 11 seedlings growing in containers! (I got bored during quarantine the last year and a half and have been growing tons of them. 🤣) Would definitely recommend satsumas for everyone!
Nice one! Definitely agree. Such prolific produces and pretty cold hardy too :).
I have Satsuma Okitsu Wase variety and I find them to be the perfect kids mandarin, easy peel, sweet and nearly seedless, everything that a kid likes.
Good job on the seedlings. I did the same with limes and gave the small shrubs away as gifts. I kept some for myself too.
I've been to Italy a few times, and had chinotto. It's an acquired taste, it's bitter as hell but once you get past that it's really delicious. The bitterness makes the drink really refreshing in my opinion. It's my favourite soda in the world.
in my own experience it kinda tasted like pickles
My favourite way to eat grapefruit is once halved, put in bowl, drizzle passionfruit pulp on top, then scoop out the grapefruit segments. Makes the end part of drinking the leftover juices extra special :)
Great presentation. We have a lifelong appreciation of Citrus. We have been growing lemons and limes in containers for about 12-15 years. Also, a finger lime for about 5-6 years. Gig Harbor, Washington, USA.
👍💯
I wish more people grew their own produce since it’s rewarding and can be a great way to try new stuff you’ve never heard of
Yea definitely rewarding! And often the only way to experience some of the worlds amazing foods that many people never get to try!
Beautiful citrus!!
Love the zoom in for the chicken
Love your videos
Thank you for your suggestions. They look beautiful and, I sure, they taste really nice. :)
Fantastic video
Nice one Kalem. 👍 Have heard of a few of these. We used to get the tangelos here & they are my fave but can't find them in the shops now. Would like to find a tree at some point.
Cheers & have a top one. 😁
Thanks Rob, hope you can find a tangelo tree. Such a good one to have 😀
Great video. You always do an amazing job providing info on exotic fruits/veggies. I appreciate it!
Thanks so much!
I can't quite believe I'm learning so much about gardening from a dude in NZ! But I like the way you present, as whenever I think of a question, it's often the very next issue you address! VERY thorough. Thank you for sharing!!
Love these in depth citrus review videos. Keep up the great work ✌️
Thanks mate!
By the way i love all those citrus fruits they made my mouth water and the color on the fruit so beautiful like i said God is good and blesses us with goodness
Love your videos ! The way you describe and explain things is great! I’m thinking about planting soon & you’ve definitely helped me.
Awesome glad it was helpful :)
Love extending harvests with different varieties. Great Video Kalem
Thanks Holly :)
This video always makes my mouth water
Very informative video
This is great, I'm shopping online while chrome casting. Definitely have to juggle to fit more plants into the garden again!!
Love it 😍
Man, I love citrus. Nice.
Awesome, hope to try some of these soon.
I hope you can! So many cool varieties out there! :)
I love your videos. You're so knowledgeable and you present the information so well. Thank you! Makes me want to send these to all my Kiwi friends who have just bought land, as I am an ex-Kiwi now in London and do not yet have a garden of my own but will live through yours.
Yes I've got a Chinotto here in the UK with fruit on it that are starting to turn colour. I havent tried it yet so might get to make that drink in a couple of months time 😂
Nice one, I’d be interested to hear how it goes if you end up trying it!
I bet you could make a nice smoothie out of that Brett 😄
Very interesting and well-made video, like all your others that I've seen. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge.
Thanks heaps! :)
Wow, never heard of mango orange before, love to taste that👌🍃🌱☘🌿✅
AMAZINGNES!!!
Excellent video mate. I've got a Tangelo, Mandarin, Lemon and Lime at my place, but am keen for some more exotic citrus. Really enjoy your content, please keep it up.
Nice one mate, sounds good. Cheers for the feedback :)
Somehow coming across your videos... all I realize is how absolutely amazing your climate is, and how badly I wish I was there!
Great videos. I live in Timor-Leste and look forward citrus that do well in subtropical climates
So cool! I love your knife!!!
Thanks Dave, glad you noticed haha
just came across this channel, super awesome stuff man
Cheers Rob!
Bagus, seperti nya terasa manis dimakan
great videos bro! Im an Italian kiwi, my mother grew up in a small northern town called Rapallo where Chinotto grown on nearly all the streets as ornamental plants. they're bitter as, the drink is bitter too but more bitter-sweet, I couldn't stand it as a kid.
I think they grow all over Monaco too and they make a liquor out of them.
Super interesting thanks. Must add to my varieties in Rotorua.
Thanks Tim, so many cool varieties out there ay! :)
Love your videos! Wish I could grow some of these in east Texas!
Thanks Christy! Are you in the colder area there where you can’t grow citrus outdoors?
Hey buddy!!!
Surprisingly this video might be as a friend for me cause i LOVE all type of citrus fruits these are juicy and tangy bit of sweeter.😋
Thanks a lot Mr. Kiwi grower🤗😋🤗
I got a huge varieties of my tangy love🤗😋
Great video - always interesting learning about Citrus varieties. We noticed just how beautiful, lush and green it is there in NZ at the moment. Have you had a wet winter or just recent rain has made it so green? Its pretty bone dry here in Sydney. Also I wasn't aware that sheep ate citrus fruit and or skins. Do they like the skins, or the flesh or they just enjoy eating the whole thing?
We've had enough rain at the moment to keep everything pretty green. Still hoping for more to top my water tanks up but hasn't been too bad. That's a shame how dry it is over there even in Winter!
The sheep aren't huge fans but some of them will eat them :)
Regarding chinotto, like most Italian thing I wouldn’t say it’s just “Italian” but probably is form few specific regions where the drink is traditional (I think Sicily and Tuscany probably), outside of those there aren’t many chinotto plants but you can find the San Pellegrino drink in most stores. South of Rome most people who have even a tiny space to plant a tree have a citrus tree but 90% of the time it’s some kind of lemon, people who have more than a few trees tend to have other varieties like oranges.
In general some varieties are strongly associated to specific places, in the region where I live, Campania, there are few famous lemon varieties the most famous being sfumato amalfitano, or just Amalfi lemon, to be sold as Amalfi lemon they have to be of that specific variety and have to be grown in the Amalfi coast. This kind of protection is very common in Italy (probably in the whole eu) and strongly attaches variety to places, another example being Sicilian blood oranges.
Anyway we have lots of cool varieties, keep discovering them!
That's really interesting info, thanks heaps for that Luca. Hope to try more cool varieties in future! :)
Liguria, Savona
yes. i did enjoy videos. thanks.
Amazing fruit, Would love to try some but never have seen them in the stores here in North Florida, USA.
Thanks man.
Iam been wanting to try different lemons and oranges to make the best fruit juices!
I actually can't watch you eat oranges without drooling!! I love oranges but I didn't realise there was so much variety 🙃
What a coincidence (maybe not with google spying us) I m almost ready to plant the 40 citrus tree I have gathered this year from Whanganui to Welli ( almost all different varieties)
I tasted my first cutler red yesterday and it was fantastic! I m still looking for citrus rarities but they are hard to come. I m still looking for an hawain grapefruit but i m not sure it would grow nicely here in Marton. You have a great channel. I immediatly subscribed!
I have started my forest garden 2 years ago and I have already planted 260 trees. It is a bit silly as I live alone but what a fantastic feeling to walk in your own garden. Every hour spent in the garden is a blessing!
Citrus is my fave fruit!!!
When i bought my house it came with many fruit trees 2 grapefruit one orange one tangerine one lg lime 2 guava 2 lg pecan one that looked like cherries but attracted many flies so we gave it the ax 3lg Chinese peaches 5 small peach trees and a sour orange God is good 😁
So Kalem the Chinotto can be bought here in Oz in the more upmarket supermarkets, San Peligrino brand. It is a bit like cola but it’s tart and bitter as well. It’s good- definitely try it.
Cool, thanks Richard, will definitely look out for it
Very informative thank you new sub here🖖😊
Only have the tangelo at my place, they are so good, ones not enough.
Great information in the vid.👍
Thanks mate, yea such a good one to grow ay!
Thank you for the useful info.
I have seen in some local markets in different states of Mexico some citrus fruit that are rather rare. I have started my small garden/orchard recently and I have asked some vendors to sell me a tree of those rare types and they frequently would say they they have just one of those trees. The propagation of those citrus trees is done mostly in the wild by chance (the fruit just drops) or by animals eating the fruit.
What I do, I buy some of those rare fruit and have germinated the seed, I know i might not come true but it will be interesting to se what ever comes out.
I have seedlings of a "Lima" sweet lime 'Citrus limettoides' (believed to be a cross between Mexican lime and citron, not sure about it). Any way, that sweet lime has a mid flavor but the aroma is so nice, soft skin and very little white part under the skin. It can be eaten almost whole pealed fruit (except for the seeds).
I also have a sour orange tree that is very common in many places and it is used in the "Huastecas" for making Cecina (beef thin long stripes with the juice of that sour orange and salt), a delicacy. I do substitute lime with this sour orange and gives a more deep and balanced flavor.
For germinating citrus seeds it is better that as soon as the seeds are taken out of the fruit, be planted in a moist substrate and they germinate easily.
Next mission: to get finger limes and bergamot trees or seeds :)
Greetings!
Very cool, sounds good. Yea definitely get some grafted trees too if you can, and some seedlings will be an interesting longer term experiment. Nice!
@@TheKiwiGrower Thank you and yes grafting my own citrus trees and others is a next step.
Greetings!
I expected to see clementine too. Thx!
I like to use a broad variety of citrus, to make preserves. I press some, and peel and chop some of the fruit flesh, to give it some texture, I also use the skin, finely chopped - and don’t use honey, as it needs to boil.
And yes, it needs a bit of sugar and thickening. If you use thickening powder, you’ll need to more than what is recommended on the package.
If you try this, and you, like I, love citrus’s, you’ll fall in love with the taste. 🍊🍋
My mouth was watering and puckering just watching you eat the sour and juicy fruit in this video… mirror neurons are crazy!
Nice love the citrus vid
I’m sure you can find the drink chinotto over there
It’s everywhere in Australia, can even get at some bars with bourbon
Usually common at fruit markets in the international foods and nibblies area
Sweet, will look out for it. Cheers!
That's a beautiful location
Kalem have you tried mangosteen? It's the queen of fruit. Try it if you haven't. Im sure it can grow there too.
We grow Gisborne Lates a summer naval orange - no acid, tends to be on the light side of colour, as it’s a summer orange! One to try
Hi, I've been growing a Washinton Naval for the last few years and have no idea what I should be doing to help it along. Could you do a video about this. Thanks for the 2 citrus videos you put out
such a nice person
Nice video. New subscriber
Thanks, glad to have you here!
@@TheKiwiGrower Thanks.
Awesome video dude! Have you ever had sweet limes? They sort of look like lemons with a bright yellow skin color.
Hi Misael, no I haven’t come across them but now I want to! They sound awesome! Thanks 😊
I've always though of Chinotto as being a bitter cola it's one of those drinks you either love it or you hate it, thankfully I rather like it ... a lot.
Спасибо за обзор👍🍊
Вообще не беспокойся 😃
chinotto is great but I rarely drink it on its own. I usually like to mix it with blood orange juice or use it for fresh summer cocktails.
Wow, what a display. And lucky you can access to such an array of varieties, lucky, lucky you... Besides, and you go and get the damn chinotto!! Man, I'm back from Italy, ten visited cities and not a single chinotto fruit available (very little citrus varieties, anyway, I think they're just kept in the rural). However, I've tried five different chinotto drinks, and yeah, they remind you of oke somehow, it was the Italian answer to coke invasion, in fact (probably the brand I liked best was the one you've placed on screen). I love that drink, what can I say, also tried an infused tonic water and bitter orange with chinotto... everything I could. So... take care of that tree of yours, love to see so many citrus in one go and, again, rather envy I'm not tasting myself, mainly the sour plus! Thanks a lot for the video and the effort everytime!
(and edit just to say that... zest is best in some, or most, of citrus fruits, for infusing drinks, essences, jams, baking, cooking in general... just crush a piece of each rind and check the difference... I like to do that with the first mandarines of the season, soooo good)
Ahh sorry you couldn’t find a chinotto but at least you got to try all the different drink versions. I’ll have to see if we can get them in NZ and give it a try. Otherwise I might have to visit Italy 😁
@@TheKiwiGrower That was maybe my excuse as well... there is some online you can buy, shipping to NZ... hard stuff. Anyway, funny to see what a huge amount of fruits is growing down there, tickles my senses! Have a great evening!
You too man!
@@TheKiwiGrower Hey! I've found Buddha's hands at the grocery and bought them all... now, calmed down back at home and already in reflective mode, I have to figure out what the H I'm going to do with all of them... candying time, I guess...
Hi! I collect citrus as well so i really love this video and im a subscriber too! Where can I purchase Vaniglia Sanguigno please?
My favorite is the naval orange. I love eating them green just before they turn orange
Good job.... Dear New Friend 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Hey how are ya? An Aussie here laughing my arse off at the sheep thing, I'm sure you know the silly joke between our countries 😂
I hope you guys are doing OK, thanks for the vids, nice to think about the garden instead of all the other crap going on🧡🧡
Hey Kalem, really enjoying your videos
Could you make a list of the citrus trees that ripen month after month here in NZ?
Cheers
Hey, thanks heaps. Yup I plan to work on this type of thing overtime for all the different fruit trees I’m growing. Will be a bit of a process :)
@@TheKiwiGrower looking forward to it mate
Ok time to visit
Have grown Flying Dragon trifolate orange? Easy to grow and hardy. Strangely beautiful twisting branches and thorns. Fruit used for juice or marmalade.
You can buy the Chinotto cola from San Pellegrino in NZ Kalem. Many Italian restaurants stock it.
You should try a naartjie, they are from my country of South Africa. They are similar to eating a Mandarin and an orange at the same time. They will grow basically anywhere.
What region in NZ are you? I'm interested to hear how your climate compares to our southern UK climate. I think many citrus here struggle with the long, dark and WET winters. Also worth mentioning that many citrus are used more for the aroma profile of their peel oils rather than their juice. Try using the zest of something like chinotto (in a dressing or dessert maybe?) to see if that's more interesting for you. A yuzu or bergamot twist in a martini is very special! (Please do keep making videos btw, you're really good at it!)
He is based in the waikato so a bit warmer and more winter light than anywhere in southern england, maybe more comparable to guernsey or one of the channel islands or northern france. We can grow most citrus types he talked about down here in canterbury which is a climate more comparable to southeast UK.
I think he's in North Island of NZ. We can grow most citrus outdoors here in NZ. I live in Christchurch in the cooler south Island and mandarins, oranges, lemons and limes are fine as long as you protect younger plants from frost. We tend to get even rainfall throughout the year and can get nice sunny days in winter. Winter is 3 months long here where I think winter is 4 months long in UK. We also get over 2000 sunshine hours per year in Christchurch and even 2500hours in Nelson region. I think London gets 1500 hours. Hope that helps.
Hi Sebastian, looks like others have covered it, but thanks for the question. I'll look at using the chinotto zest in some things - thanks for that :). Might have to grow a yuzu too!
Wow
Chinotto tastes like a bitter orangey super complex spicey cola very nice
Try growing the Seville orange for making maralade
I love Chinotto, it's a great soft drink.
A bit bitter. Sweet and sour.
I love citrus fruit. you can either eat it or drink it in a form of liquid like juice and cocktails.
Tangelos🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 had it today and they are so much better than Mandarin or Orange
I hated the Chinotto drink but the Italians around me loved it.
Love Chinotto! Have been trying to get one for years. Will you do Buddha's Hand in your next citrus vid? :-)
Hi John, might look at doing this one day in future when I can acquire some fruit :)
Rangpur lime it is Seville orange. it has rough skin, nice small. we use in the salad also we mix its juice with orange juice itmakes refreshing tast. addin on thing you may try it, which is pomelo fruit whith special tast. and ctiron orange incredibles sour and very thick skin used to make marmalade. I enjoyed your video . thanks much. added to my info a lot. but I didn't know you can grow citruses in your country because it is so cold please correct me if I am wrong. thanks again
Ciao , you right ....we don't eat chinotto in Italy but we drink Chinotto Soda , sooo good ...it is the most traditional ...like Coca Cola but 100 time better ...the brand is Chin 8 becouse 8 we pronunced Otto ...so Chin Otto . Try it !
What are your winters like? I'd li e to grow citrus here in maine (dreaming I know...) but I'm worried they won't last the freezing temps.
My grandma had a tree and used to make chinotto marmalade, it wasn't bad at all but I wouldn't recommend eating the fruit as it is xD
Wow, did you plant all these oranges yourself?
Can u pls advise how do u propogate the Australian finger lime? Do they have. Seeds?
theres a citrus tree on Saipan that looks like a lime, called Calamansi. It has a light orange colored fruit with very tangy sweet tastes when ripe. Perhaps you can showcase this one in the future.
Hi Tim, will definitely add it to the list of things to try! Cheers :)
Calamansi is synonym for Calamondin
Hi Kalem, I've just discovered your channel, and I'm getting addicted lol. Question for you, when I moved to my property in Northland 35 years ago, there was a very old lemon tree growing in the paddock. It had a knobbyish skin, and was brilliant to use for cooking and lemon curd. Not as sweet as Meyer, and not all that juicy. I was told that it was a very old variety of lemon, brought to NZ by settlers. I'd love to get my hand on one again mine, unfortunately, got accidentally bulldozed. Any idea what it might be??
Hey Karen, glad you're enjoying the videos! I'm not sure what that would be. It wasn't something like a Yuzu lemon was it? There is one called rough lemon though I'm not sure if it's in NZ. So many citrus varieties out there!
You need to get a grapefruit spoon. It has little serrated teeth on the front edge of it to cut out the wedges. It's kind of like a metal spork.
Always wanted one of those, but haven't come across one before. Will look at getting one as my trees get bigger and start producing lots :) Thanks!
You should try primasole mandarin too. İts a italian variety
What is the best citrus to grow year round? Im new to trying to grow stuff. So, i want it to be easy as possible to build my confidence with it.
GIVE THIS GUY A SUB PEOPLE!!! BEST CHANNEL HANDS DOWN
any recommendations for varieties that can handle zone 8 temps?
Hey, I'd go for something like satsuma, mandarins, kumquats, meyer lemons. These are generally some of the most cold hardy ones from what I know. Protection from frost and cold while young is still a good idea though. Otherwise you could grow slightly less cold hardy varieties in large pots that you bring under cover in Winter.
