Pamelo-giant citrus

I like dropping by at my aunt's house cause there will often be something she'll give to bring back home. Yesterday was no different She gave us PAMELO.

This is how a pamelo look like its a big giant orange

I don't always cut open a pamelo before but I've seen my aunt cut open one. I never thought it be easy to cut through the thick skin...so easy and fun just like cutting through butter without the greasy feeling. First you cut of the top, run through your knife on the side down to the bottom of the pamelo and don't go in to deep. The best part you get to rip open the thick skin segment by segment just like the picture above.

The reminder of the skin me and my sister are going to use as our body sponge later when bathing. We like going green.

Here is how it looks like inside...looks like the the inside of orange right...but this one has either white or pink flesh. The taste when it's ripe of course will be sweet but sometimes we get the not so ripe yet and will taste a little bit bitter...we still love it.


Below is the picture of a pamelo segment. Great source of fibre and thirst quencher.
