What Is a Pummelo?
The pummelo (Citrus maxima) — known also as the pomelo, the shaddock, the French chadec, the Malayan limau besar, the Bali lemon, and the Chinese grapefruit — has the distinction of being the largest citrus fruit. The pummelo (pronounced pom-EH-loh) is, essentially, a kindler, gentler, giant cousin of the grapefruit. It is similar in flavor but milder, and is actually believed to be a forebear of the modern grapefruit.
