Red Pomelo
Growing up in the Philippines, we didn’t have grapefruit, but we did have “suha,” also known as pomelo. This fruit has a thick skin and it takes a while to peel it, but what you find inside is flesh that is sweet, tangy, and tart. The flesh could range in color from pale yellow to red like the one pictured on this page. This huge citrus fruit, rich in vitamin c and potassium, is a native of Malaysia and is regarded as the ancestor of the grapefruit.
