The Pummelo is a treat for grapefruit fans who
like a touch of sweetness in their tart fruits. Similar to the
grapefruit, but sweeter, firmer, and less juicy, Pummelos have
been a favorite fruit in Asia for thousands of years. |
Uses:
Pummelos can be sliced in half and eaten like a grapefruit, or peeled
and divided into segments and enjoyed in salads. They contain 130%
of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C, which is a powerful
antioxidant.
Selection & Storage:
Pummelos appear larger than most grapefruit, but that’s partly
due to their thick but easy to peel rind. Look for solid, firm fruits
with no wrinkled or soft areas on the skin. Store in your refrigerator
for up to three weeks, or at room temperature for a week.
