Dekopon
By: Kate Opatz

About

A seedless and very sweet citrus hybrid between Kiyomi and ponkan, developed in Japan in 1972.  The fruit is large, with a large bump on the top of it.  The fruits are grown in warehouses at a constant temperature and harvested in January, Japan's winter.  Dekopon can also be found in Brazil.  
In my humble opinion, the most delicious fruit on the entire planet!
