A deliciously sweet fruit most often mistaken for an unusually shaped orange, the tangelo is a bright red-orange hybrid of a tangerine and grapefruit. With an unmistakable sweetness countered by a tart aftertaste, tangelos are the size of a fist and topped by a characteristic knob. Alternatively known as Honeyballs, tangelos are seedless, easy to peel and have a thick skin similar that of oranges.

7 Toxic Ingredients to Avoid for Safe Spring Cleaning The EPA estimates that the air inside our homes can be as more polluted than the air outside, and some of that pollution comes from our cleaning products. In fact, in their Guide to Healthy Cleaning database, the Environmental Working Group found that a full half of the cleaning products on the market contain ingredients known to harm our lungs. Indoor air pollution can lead to serious health problems like allergies and asthma. If you’re buying cleaners, here are seven toxic ingredients to avoid: 1. Anything that bears a poison label, especially those cleaners that contain odorless, sweet-tasting diethylene glycol, found in window cleaners. 2. Stay away from formaldehyde-based deodorizers; it’s been linked to cancer. 3. Nix the triclosan, which has been shown to reduce immunity and increase antibiotic-resistant bacteria. 4. Don’t buy products that contain perfume or fragrance, which is a blanket term for tons of chemicals linked to allergies, among other problems.
