I came across a strange fruit the other day that I hadn’t tried before. The main reason I tried it was because it was only 49p on a promotion in Tesco and being curious I picked one up. Called a pomelo it looks and smells a bit like a large grapefruit. The instructions suggest slicing the top off of the fruit and then removing the outside peel. However it’s more effective to simply slice the fruit in half and cut it into segments. Once you have done this you can remove the white pith from the outside of the fruit and the hard parts from between the segments. The fruit itself tastes a bit like a grapefruit only sweeter and has more of the texture of an orange. After trying it I found out that the grapefruit is actually a hybrid of the grapefruit and the orange, hence why the pomelo retains characteristics of each. If you want to try something interesting then give a go.
