The New Zealand grapefruit, also known as the Poorman, Poorman orange, poorman's orange, poor man's orange, and goldfruit, is a type of citrus fruit grown in New Zealand. Despite its name, it is not genetically a true grapefruit, but rather is believed to be a hybrid between a pomelo and a mandarin or tangelo.
