N - Nance fruits are commonly known as hog berries. They have a similar physical appearance to those of cherries in terms of size and shape, however, they have a richer golden orange color. You can also find a red flesh type of nance fruit in Mexico and Costa Rica. Some people like eating them raw while some prefer cooked nance fruit.1

O - Orangelo
These are the offspring of oranges and grapefruit. They look exactly like grapefruits. Orangelos are not too large but have pinkish-red and orange skin flesh, inside. A lot of people cut them into halves and eat them out of the flesh, via spoons. Orangelos are very sweet as compared to grapefruit and they are super easy to peel. (Google)1 -
