Buck Brand Citrus Varieties
Buck Brand has expanded their citrus offering to over a dozen delicious varieties and all of them are certified organic!
Navel Orange
These are your snack on the go! Navel oranges are seedless and have a thick skin that is easily peeled. Their pulp is sweet, juicy and flavourful!
Finger Lime
This variety is usually showcased as a garnish or raw addition for its crisp pearls, tangy flavour and unusual colouring which can add a pop of flavor to savory or sweet dishes.
Mango Orange
Mango oranges have a delicate, sweet flavour with raspberry and tropical tones. They have a soft pink ring around the outside of the flesh making them a beautiful garnish for cakes and pastries.
Seville Orange
Best suited for marmalades or sauce, thanks to its higher pectin content, which makes for better set and higher yield. Its tart flavor profile makes it good for seafood marinades, like ceviche.
Shaddock
Uniquely shaped like an egg, the rind peels off very easily for a crisp, yet super juicy citrus experience.
Sweet Lime
Less acid than ordinary limes, these are commonly enjoyed out-of-hand, but can also be cooked and preserved. The hand-pressed peel oil has a strong lemon odor.
Tangerine
These members of the mandarin family have a reddish orange skin that is thick, but easily peeled! Their flesh is bright orange and super sweet.
Pomelo
Pomelos have a thick, soft, yellow-pink rind and a sweet flesh that is less acidic. Pick a pomelo that is blemish-free, fragrant and heavy for its size for extra juiciness.
Limequat
Limequats have a greenish-yellow rind that is sweet like a kumquat, but with an acidic flavour like a lime. These can be eaten whole – rind included!
Oro Blanco
Oro Blancos are a cross between a pommelo and a grapefruit. They have a thick skin and a bitter membrane, but inside their flesh is sweet, juicy and low in acid.
Satsuma Mandarin
Mandarins are seedless, sweet and have a notoriously low acidity level. They are known as the ‘zipper fruit’ – their peel ‘zips’ off easily!
Star Ruby Grapefruit
This grapefruit has a smoother and thinner peel compared to other grapefruits. It also has a sweeter flesh without the bitterness typical of its cousins.
Tangelo
Taste like a mix of tangerine and pomelo.They have a sweet, tart, tangy flavour. Best enjoyed eaten on their own or as a substitute in recipes calling for mandarin or sweet oranges.
Kumquat
Kumquats are small, sweet oval-shaped fruits that are eaten raw, cooked, candied, pickled or preserved in marmalades.
Meyer Lemon
Meyer Lemons have an aromatic juice that is sweet and less acidic. Their smooth skin is great for zesting!
Moro Blood Orange
Moro blood oranges have a juicy flesh that is best enjoyed fresh, but they also make flavourful sorbets!
Melogold Grapefruit
Melogold grapefruits share similar roots to Oro Blancos, but they have a thinner skin, larger fruit sections and their shape is similar to a pommelo. This variety is sweet, juicy and low in acid!
T'Orange
The T’orange is the largest lemon-type fruit grown by Buck Brand. They have a sweet aroma, and a lemon flavour that is fresh and clean tasting, but without the bitterness typical of lemons.
TDE Tangerines
Taste like a flavour-rich orange with a hint of spice! The flesh inside is tender and moderately juicy. Best enjoyed juiced or eaten on their own!
