Pomelo is a large citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia that bears more than a passing resemblance to Grapefruit. However, Pomelo has a light green skin, pale yellow flesh, and – often – a thick layer of pith. It’s citrus flavor is gentle and mild, without the acidity that I usually expect from citrus.
Pomelo is one of our favorite fruits to eat chilled and is incredibly refreshing, but it’s also one of the harder fruits to prepare due to the thick pith between the outer skin and the fruit.
It can be disappointing to cut through a Pomelo to find that there’s just as much rind as fruit… However, the taste never disappoints. It is well worth the effort.
Looks delicious!!
They make a pomelo salad that’s tasty too…but the fruit by itself is so good that I just prefer that!
Also sounds delicious!!
I’d love to bring some back for everyone to try but they’d never make it through customs.
I love pomelos!!
They’re one of our favorite fruits too!
