Pink Pomelo
A tier
Pink pomelo is the colour class of red- to rose-fleshed pomelos—milder bitterness, pretty segments, popular in retail for visual appeal. Multiple cultivars fall under the label. Sweetness varies from bland to excellent by growing and type. Supreme for colour contrast in salads and platters. Generally friendlier than white grapefruit for raw eating. Inspect for juice and aroma, not only colour.
