Does pomelo have a red heart?

The pomelo has a red heart.

Like the honey pomelo, pomelo has red flesh. There are two varieties of this red-heart pomelo. One is called "red pomelo", which is larger than the ordinary Madou pomelo. Like the red-fleshed honey pomelo, its spongy layer is pink and the flesh is dark red. The texture of the flesh is coarse, there is not much juice, and the taste is sour. The other is called "Pangu pomelo", which has a yellow-green skin and bright red flesh. The taste of the flesh is close to the sweet and sour taste of the white-fleshed pomelo.

When is pomelo the sweetest?

The fruit is sweetest 1-2 weeks after being picked.

The pomelo just picked, especially the skin, contains a lot of water, and the sugar content of the flesh is not enough, so it does not taste very sweet. However, after being left at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, some of the water in the pomelo will dissipate, and the sugar content will be accumulated as the water dissipates, making it taste the sweetest.

The difference between pomelo and xiangpao

Both pomelo and tangpoon are varieties of pomelo, but they also have the following differences:

Wen Dan is also known as Yuhuan Pomelo. It has a flat spherical or pear-shaped appearance, large fruit, smooth skin, few or no seeds, thin skin, and fine flesh. When ripe, the skin is green or light yellow, and it tastes sweet and sour. It is one of the three famous pomeloes in my country, and is mainly produced in Fujian (Putian Xianyou area), Taiwan, Zhejiang and other places.

The scientific name of Citron is citron. It is oblong, oval or nearly spherical in shape, small in size, with a sticky peel, thick inside, white flesh, lemon yellow when ripe, and fragrant, but generally has a thick skin and a slightly bitter taste, and the flesh is hard and sour. It is usually planted in parks as an ornamental plant. Its fruit tastes bad and few people eat it. The main producing areas are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui, Hubei, Sichuan and other places.
