How to Choose and Eat Pomelo

Choose pomelos that feel heavy for their size, with firm skin and no mouldy, leaking or deeply sunken areas. A heavier pomelo usually suggests juicier flesh inside.

To eat, cut off the top, score the thick rind into sections and peel it away. Remove the white pith and membrane before eating the juicy flesh. The membrane can taste slightly bitter, so removing it gives a cleaner and sweeter bite.

• Peel and enjoy fresh as a table fruit
• Chill before serving for a refreshing bite
• Add segments to fruit platters
• Use in Asian-style pomelo salads
• Serve after meals as a light citrus fruit
• Pair with prawns, mint, lime, herbs or light dressings
• Use for Mid-Autumn Festival sharing and gifting
