Sorry, we are sold out of Pomelos for the season! Next crop will be available Fall 2008.
Call or spell it a Pomelo, Pommelo, Pummelo, Pompelmous, Shaddock, or even an Asian Grapefruit, and you would be correct. Which ever name you prefer, Pomelos have a refreshingly sweet and mildly tart flavor. Their rosy pink interior and extraordinary texture make them a delicious eating citrus fruit. Pomelos are a perfect addition to breakfast, salads, or use pomelos to create an exotic entree or desert.
So, exactly what is a Pomelo? It is a very ancient ancestor to the common grapefruit and is the largest fruit in the citrus family.
Pomelos are native to Southeast Asia and arrived in China around 100-200 B.C.! Today Pomelos are still a popular treat in Asian cultures, especially during Chinese New Year. Pomelos are often enjoyed and given during the Chinese New Year as a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
What about the nutrition in a Pomelo? Just 150 grams (about one-fourth) of a Pomelo has 60 calories and provides 130% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. It is sodium, fat and (even better) cholesterol free and is an excellent source of potassium!
The variety of California Pomelos we grow, end up in various sizes, so if there is specific size you need or want please call or email us and we would be happy to help you choose the size and quantity thats best for you.
