Red pomelo
Red pomelo is a pink- to red-fleshed pomelo type with thick rind and sweet-tart, mildly bitter segments, eaten fresh or added to dishes.
About Red pomelo
Red pomelo is a pomelo cultivar or market type with pink to reddish flesh, rather than a separate kind of citrus fruit. It is eaten fresh after the thick rind and membrane around each segment are removed; the segments may also be added to fruit dishes or savoury preparations. The fruit is generally large, with a thick, spongy rind and substantial segments.
Its flesh can range from pale pink to deeper red, and its flavour is typically sweet-tart with a mild bitterness. Flesh colour, juiciness, sweetness and seediness vary among pomelos sold under red-flesh descriptions. It may be sold whole or as separated fresh segments; dried or otherwise processed pomelo products should not be assumed to match the fresh fruit.
