Very useful source, thanks Bowwowmeow.:) Is a pummelo what we call a grapefruit in the UK, as it looks pretty much the same?

[Oracl]

Is a pummelo what we call a grapefruit in the UK, as it looks pretty much the same?
Where I live pummelos are huge, much bigger than grapefruits and sweeter. They are of course a citrus fruit and similar in taste to a grapefruit, from what I remember. (I have only tried them once! :o )

[Fauxmage]

Yes, pummelos are two or three times as big as grapefruits. I believe they are considered good luck by the Chinese, and eaten at Chinese New Year. :yum:

[Delicious]

Thanks, Bowwowmeow! Very nice job :)

[mothwing]

A pummelo looks like what we may call in the UK, an UGLI fruit.

I think its a cross between grapefruit and tangerine. The ugli tends to have a more puckered skin though.

[Rainbow]

Some photos make it look like a ruby red grapefruit and in others it takes on a less spherical from more of a flat topped ovoid! Some have green skin skin, some yellow - I've never seen one here :dizzy:

[Gliondrach]

I haven't had a pummelo for many a year.

Apparently, we need to eat 8 oranges now to get the same amount of vit C that we would have had from a pre-war orange. I don't know if that's true but food today will be less nutritious, due to all the nasty chemicals sloshed about everywhere.
