Pummelos

It has been citrus season and so there have been lots of fun options at the store.  On one of my recent trips I saw what looked like large grapefruit but were really pummelos.  We have never had one so I decided to try it.  In the store the sign said it is the largest citrus fruit.  I don't know the validity of this statement but I will say it is quite large.

The fruit is extremely fragrant and smells very similar to a grapefruit.  The pulp is pink and surprisingly had a very thick rind.  Despite having similar grapefruit qualities it was sweet and not at all sour.  It was quite delicious and I would definitely enjoy it again in the future.
