Every person I’ve asked “How do you choose?” has responded “Choose the heaviest”, but my wise mom-in-law clued me in that the Thailand ones are sweetest. It was described as “Red Pomelo” at T&T, sold for $3, and has a label stating “HK”. It’s a little smaller than the ones from China and the sections are distinctly pink at the outer edges – sweet, not a hint of tang, mildly floral, and very easy to peel.
Came across another called “Honey Pomelo” in a Vietnamese store in Surrey (same price), but didn’t know where it was grown. Not as sweet as HK, but very flavorful nonetheless.



Hey! Just ate a pomelo for the first time in my life. I used one of your pomelo pictures on my blog and add a “via” link. I hope you don’t mind.
Hi Lauren, happy to hear it. Yes you may use my photo. Thanks for letting me know!
