Pomelo

Pomelo is a type of citrus fruit native to South and SouthEast Asia.  It’s the biggest of all citrus fruit weighing between 2-4 pounds (1-2 kg). It comes in several different varieties all larger than grapefruit.

Pomelo is the least acidic of all citrus fruit and does not taste as “sour” as other citrus fruit. While some varieties are more juicy than others, pomelo is typically less juicy than other citrus fruit.

As it ripens the skin typically turns from green to yellow although some green may remain on the peel even when at its ripest.  The rind of a pomelo is quite thick, but once scored, fairly easy to peel. The membrane between slices is very tough and papery, you’ll definitely want to remove it.
