Many people like exotic fruits, but so far not all of them have been developed and approved by the people. And how do they eat pomelo, for example? There is nothing complicated about it.
What it is?
This fruit belongs to citrus and is a relative of grapefruit (but not a hybrid, as many believe). There are several varieties of pomelo. Some fruits have a bright green peel, while the color of others varies from yellow to light orange. The pulp of the fruit is juicy and sweet. Initially, these citruses were grown in Malaysia and Asia, but now they are in Thailand, China and other countries.
The choice
Before figuring out how to eat a broomstick, it would be worthwhile to find out how to choose it. Since one variety is most often imported to Russia, focus on the yellow color of the peel. The fruit should not be too small and tough. Evaluate the smell, it should be a clear citrus fruit, and not some other non-fruit. In addition, size and weight are important. If the fruit is quite large, but it is very light, there is probably not much pulp inside.
How to clean?
And yet, how to eat broomstick? First of all, it needs to be washed. And it’s better to even pour boiling water over the fruit to wash off the wax, which is often coated with such products to shine and preserve the integrity of the shell.
The peel of the fruit is quite thick, but it is not so difficult to remove. Draw a knife along its entire diameter and slightly pry the edges so as not to damage your nails or fingers. Remove the skin. You will find a fruit that looks like peeled orange. But do not rush to start a meal, since the partitions and shells of the pomelo have a rather bitter taste and can ruin the impression of a sweet and juicy pulp. So all superfluous is better to delete.
If you do not know how to eat a broomstick, then first divide it into slices, and then release each of them from the shells. It is easy, everything is separated without difficulty. Bones should be removed too.
As it is?
If you are interested in how pomelo is eaten in different countries, there are many ways. For example, in Thailand such a fruit is served with fish or meat. Other peoples consider pomelo a dessert product and add it to ice cream or fruit salads.
You can choose any method. For example, you can just eat half a pomelo for an afternoon snack. It is delicious, satisfying and nutritious. And some people make jam or jams from this fruit, they are rich and sweet.
