The Chinese Grapefruit

Ok, got a picky eater in your house? We have one, and I have learned to encourage new foods . . . often. It helps expand their acceptance of new foods, and it is fun too! So we frequently pick up less common produce to try. We have been surprised at how many new foods we have a taste for. 

Our latest was the pummelo, the exotic Chinese grapefruit. It is a cousin to the grapefruit, with a slightly different flavor. The pummelo is the largest citrus fruit, and makes a large grapefruit look small! It does have a larger pith than the grapefruit which makes it difficult to peel, but well worth it! (I cut it with a citrus peeler and peeled it like I would an orange or grapefruit.)

So, if you like grapefruit, you might pick up a pummelo and give it a try. But, be forewarned: Your cashier may ask, "What is this?"
