Does anyone know where I could buy fresh Pumelos online or maybe by mail? I miss eating Pumelo, grew up in Hawaii where Pumelo were readily available. Please tell me where I could buy them by mail or online. Thank you.

I lived in Israel for 9 months and they had pummelos there for very cheap! I loved them! You just peel it like you would an orange. My friends and I would just eat them straight. They’re juicy, sweet and filling. Yum…

I love them! I eat them often although they are time consuming to peel. I cut it in half then peel the rind off. I think the skin is bitter so I peel that off too. I end up with strictly the fruit, like grapefruit segments.

Pith? Rind, pith, then fruit? Not sure, but I wanna try the pummelo too. I love grapefruit, i should love this too. :)

i’ve eaten pummelo a couple times at work (still don’t know where to get them, but 1 of my coworkers brings them). apparently, we do it wrong…but, we cut it in half (like a grapefruit), then cut off the rind, then peel out or use a fork to get the segments. it basically is like a pink grapefruit, but even sweeter :-)

how fun! i’ve never tried pummelo; will have to add it to the ‘to try’ list. i love trying new produce items. last week i tried parsnips and rutabaga. loved the parsnips!

I really like pummelos–I enjoy the taste between an orange and a grapefruit. I usually dig one of my nails or a spoon into the side and peel like an orange. I love putting these in my lunch because they are so big that I feel like I’m getting a real treat! I bet they would be good in a trifle (instead of grapefruit), but I’ve never tried anything but eating them by themselves.

I’ve been dying to try one of those but I can’t find them right now in Cleveland! :( LOVE that top Roni – so cute – is it newer/still in stores?? :)

Thanks Roni. That price seems reasonable to give them a try. I remember pricing the pomegranate after you posted that video and and they were about double that price.

I’m pretty sure they were 10 for $10. So a buck. I think they are in season right now.

I spotted these in the store awhile back and was curious but didn’t buy. Do you remember the cost of the pummelo?

Also, I thought of you today when my daughter called to say that Aldi was having great deals on produce this week!
