Pomelo is a large citrus fruit with a thick green or yellow rind. Inside its tough exterior lies juicy, sweet, and slightly tangy flesh that varies from pale yellow to pinkish-red.
It is used in a variety of dishes, adding a refreshing and zesty touch to salads, desserts, and savoury dishes. Pomelo segments are often added to fruit salads for a burst of citrusy flavour, or its juice is used to create refreshing beverages.
