Citrus maxima (Pomelo)

I have discovered the secret that the pomelo industry doesn't want you to know: it's just a bland grapefruit with a really thick skin.

That may not be entirely fair. I'd never had a pomelo before. And I did find it tasty. It was both less bitter and less sour than a standard ruby grapefruit, but still had that pleasant piney, citrus flavor.

But underneath that giant rind, $2.99 worth of pomelo only amounts to the same amount of fruit as a $1.29 grapefruit. (See photo below: fruit on left, rind on right).

I'll be sticking with the grapefruit from here on out.
