Mom in High Heels Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Does anyone eat Sumo Citrus? They are huge and not a pretty fruit from the outside, but on the inside, they are pure delicious. I was hesitant to buy one, but we like citrus, so I thought we could at least try it. Holy cow! They are seriously delicious. They are like a similar in taste to a clementine, but meaty if that makes sense. If you see them in the store, pick one up and try it!

torikei Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 We love pretty much all of the citrus. I'll have to watch for it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'd never heard of it before. What store carries it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Texican Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I read the title wrong. I thought it said sumo circus. I just had to click on the link to see what that was. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'd never heard of it before. What store carries it? Our commissary carries it, and I've seen them at Safeway. They are only available Feb-May. If you see one, grab it! I read the title wrong. I thought it said sumo circus. I just had to click on the link to see what that was. 😃 Hahahaha! Now I want to see a sumo circus. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I clicked having no idea what this would be. Is it some weird Japanese TV show? Is it a new app? But looking at the fruit, they remind me of Honeybells…also known as Mineolas. Super juice and delicious. I love them. Will have the look for the sumo kind. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I can't read this thread title without thinking of sumo wrestlers, and when I think of sumo wrestlers, "Boy, I'll bet they eat a lot of fresh fruit," is not what immediately comes to mind. I had never heard of sumo citrus before this thread, although it looks sort of familiar now that I saw the pictures on the website. like maybe I saw them in the store, but thought they were some sort of weird orange that had gone horribly bad, but your description makes them sound tasty, so I'd definitely be willing to buy some. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Too funny. Ds & I picked one up at the grocery store for fun the other day but haven't eaten it yet. (A sign we saw said they are called sumo because the knot on top looks similar to the top-knot that many [all?] sumo wrestlers wear.)

Mom in High Heels Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Stacia, I wondered why they were called sumo. That makes sense! James Bond theorized it's because they're shaped like sumo wrestlers with a fat little head and a huge body. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Texican Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Ha! That's so wrinkly I would've thought it had started to wilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
