Name: Pomelo
Brand: Sunkist
Place of Purchase: HyVee Foods in Ames, Iowa
Country/Region of Origin: USA
Price in Iowa: $1.59 each
Description: A gigantic green grapefruit. The rind is pretty thick, as are the membranes.
Flavor: sweet and tart, like a grapefruit but more sugary
Aroma: citrus
Texture/Mouth-feel: fresh and juicy
Notes: Fresh fruit! I got a fresh fruit this week. Not a dried/canned/jammed fruit! I wanted to try one of these ever since I found out what a two plants make a tangelo. Man! This thing is juicy. I bit into a section and sprayed my unsuspecting corgi. Luckily, it was sweet enough so she didn't mind. I would suggest buying these, when available, over grapefruits. But they do require a bit more effort to remove all of the membranes. They certainly would be superior for juicing.
It's also the other ancestor of the grapefruit (along with the orange).
