So, what’s all the hype about? Whitney E., R.D., the blogger, dietitian and mom of two, delivers it straight: Sumo Citrus is super-sweet, no-mess, enormous, easy-to-peel, and seedless.
But, there’s more to love about Sumo Citrus, according to the fruit’s most loyal fans.
The signature top knot shape is iconic.
Fans know they have the real-deal of this unique citrus hybrid – derived from satsuma, orange, and mandarin and called a “dekopon” – as soon as they spot the iconic top knot. Now that there’s less lingering in the fruit aisle, being able to spot the Sumo Citrus from across the aisle is a major perk.
