Moroccan Fruit Salad* This Uniq Fruit has various, odd shapes and its skin is pot-marked.  It is a cross between a mandarin orange and a Pomelo (the original grapefruit).  

When purchasing, look for fruit that is heavy for its size and do not be concerned about surface scarring, uneven color, or loose skin.  They are often quite large, but the smaller fruit tend to be more flavorful and sweeter.  Select fruit that is heavy for its size.  Check for soft or brown spots and press those gently with a thumb.  If it goes through the spot, it probably means the fruit is spoiled.  There should be a slight give at the blossom end (opposite the nose) when pressed with a thumb.  It is best if there is a bit of give to the fruit.
