Hello
I was wondering if anyone has the taiwan citrus called lieu ding? It tastes delicious, but no matter how much research i put in, I still cannot find the variety anywhere.
Cheers,
Matt

Liu ding is just the local name for orange. You need to ask what variety of orange it is.

I believe the liu ding was very pale in comparison to a regular orange, was much smaller, and had these thick separators not unlike a pomelo. It also tastes somewhat like a valencia orange but better!

This page has liu ding both as a generic name for orange (page title) as well as a variety of sweet orange.
http://www.365fruit.com/fruits_03.html
Look under this heading: 柳丁(柳橙), above the Valencia orange section. Does that look right?
I still don't know where to find it though. The variety that's imported here could be the variety or it could be a random orange since they use the term for both things in Taiwan.

Nope, think of a cross between a mandarin and a pomelo, the size and sweetness of a mandarin, but the shape, color Inside of a pomelo.
