7 Uncommon Citrus Fruits You've Got To Try - Mango Orange, Rangpur Lime, Chinotto and More!

  • 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. :)

    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.

    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!

    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?

    • @TheKiwiGrower
      @TheKiwiGrower  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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!

    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!

    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. 🍊🍋

    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, 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)

    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!

    Would you still recommend the Cutler's red grapfruit to someone who hates grapefruits?
