Pomelo

Pomelo, also spelled pummelo, is the largest citrus fruit, Citrus maxima, native to Southeast Asia and one of the ancestral citrus species from which the modern grapefruit was later developed as a hybrid. Its thick, spongy rind protects a coarse-textured flesh that ranges from pale yellow to pink, generally sweeter and less bitter than grapefruit. Pomelo is eaten fresh, often peeled as a snack or added to fruit salads, and it plays a significant symbolic role in several Asian traditions, including Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations in China and Vietnam and Lunar New Year offerings.
