Pummelo Trees

Citrus maxima

The pummelo (Citrus maxima) is the largest member of the citrus family and is native to Southeast Asia. Recognized for its thick rind and large, juicy segments, the pummelo has a sweet, mild flavor that is less acidic than a grapefruit. Its flesh can range in color from pale yellow to pink, depending on the variety. Rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, the pummelo supports a healthy immune system and digestion. The fruit grows on small trees or shrubs in warm, tropical climates and is often enjoyed fresh, in salads, or as a natural juice. Its distinctive aroma and refreshing taste make it a popular choice in many parts of the world.
