Pomelo
Pomelo is a large citrus fruit with juicy segments used fresh, in salads, and in desserts.
About Pomelo
Pomelo is a large citrus fruit with a thick, spongy rind and sizeable segments separated by firm membranes. Its flesh may be pale green, yellow, pink, or red. The separated segments are commonly eaten fresh or added to fruit salads, savoury salads, desserts, and drinks.
Its flesh has a juicy, sweet-tart flavour that can include bitterness. Flesh firmness, juiciness, seed presence, and sweetness vary among varieties and stages of ripeness; the exact cultivar and flesh colour are unspecified.
Pomelo is sold as a whole fruit or prepared in peeled segments. The peel is usually removed before eating, and the membranes may also be discarded. Preparation therefore changes the proportion of usable flesh and the texture experienced when the segments are served.

Reference values apply to the named food form, not every preparation, variety or brand. CoFID 2021 food code 14-228. Carbohydrate follows the dataset’s available-carbohydrate convention.

Portions & preparation
Reference the edible peeled flesh and remove rind, pith, and seeds as appropriate. Segment color and cultivar can vary, so the identified pomelo should match the reference form. Fresh segments, juice, cooked preparations, and sweetened desserts are not interchangeable for portion or composition interpretation.
Compare the right form: Match references to raw edible pomelo segments from the identified cultivar, excluding rind, pith, seeds, juice, and sweetened preparations.
Diet considerations
Pomelo is a plant fruit and is ordinarily used as a fresh, plant-derived food. Compatibility changes when it is candied, sweetened, combined with dairy, or incorporated into a cereal-based dish. Portion size and processing affect the carbohydrate pattern compared with unsweetened whole segments.
