What does a red pummelo taste like?
In general, pomelos taste very much like grapefruits. Some of the pomelo varieties most prized by growers (and widely available in grocery stores and farmers markets) have a more delicate, floral taste than grapefruits. Honey pomelos are an easy-to-find variety with light yellow skin and flesh and a mild flavor.
What is pummelo used for?
Pomelo can be eaten by itself as a snack or used as a substitute for other citrus fruits in recipes. It also makes an excellent addition to salads. Pomelo is easy to peel and can be eaten by itself or used in recipes. Dried pomelo contains more sugar and calories than raw pomelo.
