In buying this citrus, I would have expected some way of having this citrus that would be like an orange, but smaller. However in seeing how it is more red I would have expected it to be like a blood orange that would match its flavor. Well, it is not that way. For the citrus that has rarely has seeds, but is grown in Morocco primarily- however it can be grown in Florida, or if it is in ideal conditions that would imitate its Mediterranean climate and now is the leader in growing citruses, California for all you (us) USA people- it is a crop with a future. If it is not for the current situation of the trade battles between countries, we would enjoy this citrus a lot more.
This fruit is easily confused with a clementine, but can also be confused with a tangerine due to its small size, however it is bigger and it can hardly be confused with one when the nadorcott is ripe. It is also called “afourer”-it can be of a French origin as in imperialistic times, France did have some time of ruling Morocco, and they still have French as an official language there.
When peeling, on my first try, there is little pith (white) before getting into the actual fruit-something that the orange has more of-even lemons and limes do have more of in terms of size-it is like the tangerine- you don’t need to taste the bit of “guts” before getting the “meat” of the fruit-it has a thin rind. With that, you may smell if your nose is close, a bit of distinctive tang; a characteristic when you may want to smell the oils of a citrus. Once you will get to the fruit to eat, it is easy to peel of the excess “veins”- there is hardly some. You will not worry about the seeds having any bearing on the taste since there is none, but know that the actual taste is VERY good! For my taste buds, there is a literal mix of flavor: In some ways, you would taste an orange and tangerine at the same time, but in the later part, you can have a hint of mangosteen as well! I would have expected the taste to linger a bit, but it disappears right away when you let it fall into your esophagus past the upper sphincter.
It is clear that I would REALLY love to have this again at some point! I will thank Melissa’s ( https://www.melissas.com ) for finding this fruit. For each, you may spend around US$2, but it would be worth it if you want to have some variety in citruses that are sweet and tasty- look out clementines and tangerines, you have a rising competitor in your family; and it would show in my rating here, AND IT IS EXCEEDINGLY PERFECT IN COMBINING NUTRITIOUS WITH DELICIOUS!!!:
19: Cherimoya
18: Dragonfruit
17: Papaya
16: Passion fruit
15: Sapote (Mamey)
14: Rambutan
13: Tamarind (ripe)
12: Mangosteen
11: Durian
10: Korean melon
9: Lychee
8: Pummelo / Pomelo
7: Goldenberry (close to "MEH", but OK)
6: Kiwano melon (bit good)
5: Prickly pear / Cactus fruit (bland)
4: Tamarillo (Red)
3: Guava-Mexican white
2: Pepino melon
1: Quince (RAW- IT'S BAD!!)
Alfred will definitely be happy to try this fruit if he does go to Morocco, but it can pop up anywhere, even in his native India or even as far as Laos or Myanmar. No, he won’t pucker and wince- he will be having a wide smile and happy eyes when he eats this for the first time! HE WILL WANT MORE!!

😘🥰😍ALL HAIL THE NANDORCOTT (Afourer)-IT IS PONCE DE LEON'S DELICIOUS FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!!!😄🍊😋
If the story goes that the orange is the Fountain of Youth, it's the afourer that is better! De Leon didn't need to go to Florida to search for it- he just needed to cross the Strait of Gibraltar!😆
(Then again, poor Florida- as of now, the citrus production there is in EXTREME decline. 😔 Me as Californian, despite I can boast that my state is #1 in US citrus production [primarily oranges, but it is for EATING-Florida does it for producing juice], time will tell that there can be a shortage of citruses of any kind nationwide, and we may soon have to import and the afourer will also be hard to find in our backyards despite that the USA has the conditions in the geographic south to grow them year-round; I'm worried... 😬
Let's find a way to sustainably grow citruses.)I am a member of these:
