pomelos
Giant citrus fruit
Pomelos are the largest citrus fruit, native to Southeast Asia.
They resemble oversized grapefruits with thick, pithy rinds and pale yellow to pink flesh.
The taste is milder and sweeter than grapefruit, without the bitterness.
Pomelos appear frequently in Asian cuisines and during Lunar New Year celebrations.
