What Is Pomelo?
Pomelo: The largest citrus fruit, with very thick pith and mild, sweet-tart flesh. It is one of the parent fruits of the grapefruit.
In the kitchen
A pomelo can be the size of a small melon, and most of that size is thick white pith and peel. The segments inside are drier and less bitter than a grapefruit, with a gentle sweetness.
You peel the pomelo, remove the tough membrane around each segment and eat the flesh raw or toss it into salads. The thick peel is sometimes candied.
