| Plummelo & Shaddock Pummelos, sometimes referred to as a "Shaddock" or "Chinese grapefruit", are botanically known as "Citrus Grandis", the largest citrus fruit. Pummelos closely resemble grapefruit. They grow to be as big or bigger than a grapefruit, have a thick yet smooth green to yellow skin (green is good), firm flesh and are generally round to pear shape. Pummelos commonly have from 16 to 18 segments, while most grapefruit have about 12 segments. Interior color will vary from white to deep pink. The taste of pummelo is unique, aromatic, sweeter and less acidic than grapefruit. They have large segments that are firm & juicy.
