About
An ancestor of today's grapefruit, the pomelo is a melon-sized citrus fruit that looks like a supersized grapefruit that has been narrowed slightly at one end. It originated in Southeast Asia, and today is grown in China, Japan, and California. Like grapefruit, pomelos are pinkish- or greenish-yellow, with fibrous flesh separated into segments by membranes. Their flavor may range from very tart to very sweet.
