Description/Taste:
Also known as Pomello or pumello, the Red Pomelo, much like its white counterpart, is a large citrus fruit but is distinguished by its vibrant pink to ruby-red flesh inside. The outer rind remains thick and can vary from pale green to yellow. The red flesh offers a sweet taste, with nuances of berry flavours, and is less tangy than the white variety. Its texture remains juicy yet firm, providing a satisfying bite.
Seasons/Availability:
In the UK, Red Pomelos are not grown due to the climate, necessitating imports to satisfy consumer demand. They are typically available from late summer to winter. The main sources for Red Pomelos in the UK market are Southeast Asia, especially countries like Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Israel.
Uses & Flavour Pairings:
Red Pomelos are delightful when eaten fresh. Their segments can be incorporated into salads, desserts, or simply enjoyed as a juicy snack. The sweet, berry-like flavour pairs wonderfully with mint, prawns, and spicy dressings, making it a favourite in some Asian salads. It also complements creamy desserts, other tropical fruits, and can be used in beverages or as a garnish in cocktails.
History:
Originating from Southeast Asia, pomelos have long been a cherished fruit in various cultures. The Red Pomelo, with its striking colour and unique taste, has become especially popular in recent years. In the UK, they are appreciated not only for their flavour but also for their aesthetic appeal, often used in festive displays and as a vibrant addition to fruit baskets.
