General: Pomelo or pummelo is also known as limau bali or limau tambun in Malaysia. The pummelo is an exotic large citrus fruit that is an ancestor of the common grapefruit. It originated in Asia and is grown in many eastern countries including China, Japan, India, Fiji, Malaysia, and Thailand. As a luscious food, it is famous in its own right in its homeland, the Far East. Pomelo is known to be the largest of all citrus fruits that can grow to a foot in diameter and weigh up to 3 kgs per fruit. Some types of pomelo have no rind. They also have the thickest rind, which is beneficial in keeping and transport. This exotic fruit is fairly rounded or slightly pear shaped. The yellow rind of the pomelo is thick and spongy and the delicate flesh ranges from pink to rosy in color.
