Pomelo

Often called the "Moon of the Orchard," the pomelo (Citrus maxima) is the largest of all citrus fruits, reaching the size of a bowling ball and serving as a genetic patriarch to nearly every modern grapefruit variety. Native to Southeast Asia, it is a fruit defined by its incredible structural defense; its fragrant, yellow-green rind can be nearly an inch thick, acting as a natural shock absorber for the giant, tear-shaped vesicles within. Unlike its descendant, the grapefruit, the pomelo is prized for its "dry" sweetness and lack of bitterness; its juice sacs are firm and easily separated, allowing you to peel them away like individual gems of translucent gold or rose.
