Grapefruit and pomelo are tasting their best right now at the peak of the season. Pomelo fans (of which there are many) find the denser, chewy consistency very satisfying. Texture: Pomelo generally have less juice than grapefruit proportionally. Taste: While pomelo and grapefruit both have a flavor that ranges from sweet to bittersweet, the taste of a pomelo is noticeably sweeter and often has subtle flavor overtones. Size: Grapefruit are big, but pomelos are even larger – in fact, pomelos are the largest of all citrus fruits. Shape: While grapefruit are round, pomelos are generally shaped more like a pear or teardrop. Peel: Pomelos have a thicker rind than grapefruit, and much more pith. Origins: The pomelo is a separate species while the grapefruit is a hybrid, resulting from crossing a sweet orange with a pomelo. (Fun fact! This is how grapefruit got their name.) Grapefruit tend to grow in clusters, so much so that they can resemble grapes on a vine. How they grow: When pomelos hang on the tree, they frequently hang alone. It’s no wonder they are so popular during the winter months! Although similar, grapefruit and pomelo are not interchangeable, and each has their own distinct characteristics. They are larger sized citrus with a distinct flavor and chock full of vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber. Grapefruit and pomelo have a lot in common.
