  • ~30 lbs
  • Pomelo aka "Pompelmo", "Shaddock", "Pummelo", "Chinese Grapfruit", "Sha-Tian-You", "Jin-You", "You-Zi", "沙田柚", "金柚", "柚子"
  • Pomelo is usually round with one end slightly pointy. The shape resembles grapefruit but is much larger in size. The smooth skin is greenish-yellow to yellow with the flesh being white, rose, or pink in color. There is a layer of thick white pulp that surrounds the juicy flesh. Pomelo may contain seeds depending on the variety. It tastes very much like grapefruit but is sweeter with a delicate, floral flavor. Pomelo may be eaten as is or used in fruit salads or desserts. Pomelo is available from late fall through winter.
Handling Tip
Selection
  • Pomelo has smooth skin with no signs of mold or blemishes.
  • Pomelo feels heavy for its size with a floral scent.
Storage
  • Pomelo should be stored at 45ºF - 50ºF (7ºC - 10ºC) with a relative humidity of eighty-five to ninety-five percent and no mist.
  • The typical shelf life is up to two weeks.
  • Pomelo is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Do not store pomelo with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life. Pomelo produces a very low level of ethylene.
  • Pomelo is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 45ºF (7ºC). Symptoms include brown discoloration of the skin and increase decay.
