Yellow Malta fruit plants

Yellow Malta is a variety of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) known for its bright yellow skin, juicy pulp, and pleasantly sweet flavor. Cultivated widely in parts of India like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, this fruit stands out for its smooth, yellow rind and succulent, pale yellow to light orange flesh. Medium to large in size, Yellow Malta is rich in juice and typically has 10–12 tender segments with a low seed count, depending on the cultivar. Its sweetness, low acidity, and refreshing taste make it a popular choice for both fresh eating and juicing.

The fruit grows on a medium-sized evergreen tree that thrives in warm, subtropical climates. Valued for its high Vitamin C content, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, Yellow Malta supports immunity, digestion, and hydration. Its low acidity and high water content make it especially appealing for children and those who prefer milder citrus fruits. Whether consumed fresh, added to salads, or juiced for a naturally sweet beverage, Yellow Malta is a delicious and healthful fruit with wide culinary appeal.
