Pamplemousse chinois, chair sans peau, sans pépins, cru

This French catalogue name describes raw flesh of Chinese pomelo, with the peel and seeds removed. Pomelo is a large citrus fruit; the edible flesh is divided into segments that can be eaten fresh or used in fruit preparations. The description refers specifically to the raw, peeled, seedless flesh, not the rind or juice.

The flesh consists of juicy citrus vesicles and may range from pale to pinkish, with a sweet-tart flavour that can include mild bitterness. It is commonly sold as a whole fruit, while this form is ready-to-eat separated flesh. Cultivar and ripeness influence the flesh’s colour and flavour.
