Funny Fruit


I'd never see one of these before, but felt adventurous and decided to pick it up when they had a big display in the Albert grocery store (aka Albert Hypermarket).

It is a Honey Pomelo. The fruit is full of juice, sweet and light fragrant taste

Details:
1)Origin: Fujian Province of China
2) Colors: Light green, yellow
3) Juicy, semi-transparent and nice looking, Light sweet and sour taste
4) Round or pear shape, firm, thick-skin
5) Weight 2kg and up
6) Available from October to next February

Nutritional information:
Excellent source of vitamin C and fiber and good source of folate. Easy storage and preparation: They will keep at room temperature for several weeks or a month or more if refrigerated. Best uses: Use for juice or add sections to fruit or green saladas or fruit salads. I hear it is good with fish, but I just ate it in the morning like I would a grapefruit. It is a lot firmer than a grapefruit and is much less acidic. Very nice and a real treat if you get a chance to eat one...take it!

    We have the Pomelo here on Maui. It's like a very large grapefruit with very thick skin. It can have either red of yellow flesh. Our season has just begun.

  2. It looks like a pear. Sounds good, though.
