New Zealand grapefruit

The New Zealand grapefruit, otherwise known as the Poorman's orange, Poor man's orange, or Goldfruit[1] is a type of citrus fruit grown in New Zealand. Despite its name it's not botanically a true grapefruit, but believed to be a hybrid between a pomelo and either a mandarin or tangelo.
