Kinnow

Citrus nobilis × Citrus × deliciosa · Citrus

The kinnow is the workhorse mandarin of the Indian subcontinent — a deep-orange, intensely juicy, heavily seeded hybrid that dominates the citrus orchards of Punjab in both Pakistan and India. Bred in California and adopted wholesale across northern South Asia, it eats tart-sweet and drips with juice, its thin, glossy rind clinging tighter than a satsuma's; it is the fruit that fills winter markets from Lahore to Delhi and the mandarin most exported from the region.
