Khao Nam Phueng

A tier

Khao Nam Phueng is a renowned Thai pomelo with pale flesh and honeyed sweetness—name evokes honey water—central to Thai festive fruit and spicy-sour salads. Texture of vesicles is crisp-juicy when prime. Thailand’s pomelo culture treats named cultivars seriously. Pair with toasted coconut, lime, and chili in yum som-o; eat plain as sweet fruit. Export Thai pomelos often include this quality class. Avoid dry, overheld fruit.
