Thanks to BostonZest readers, we remembered to look for pomelos last week. As the BostonZest archives grow and grow, we're letting readers' choices guide us to favorites from the past. If you come across a post you think should get a new spotlight, let us know. This post is from our archives but the fruit is around and still wonderful.
Here's the beautiful, heavy, lush pomelo we brought home from Whole Foods on River Street in Cambridge. We added a tangerine and lime to give you an idea of the size.
Add a comment to let us know if you spot Pomelos where you shop. Sometimes they can be hard to find.
Here's an even better measure of the size– this one is just 17 inches around. And, this is not the largest one we've had, it's average!
Inside is the prettiest pink citrus fruit!
The rind is very thick, and you can break the fruit into lovely pieces that are perfect when mixed with some romaine lettuce, toasted almond slices, and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
