pomelo
pomelo
Noun
pl: pomelos
This citrus fruit is characterized by its massive size and a notably thick, spongy pith that separates the outer rind from the fruit segments. It is often perceived as a more mild, less acidic alternative to the grapefruit, though it shares a similar appearance. As a countable noun, it follows standard English pluralization rules. It is typically discussed in the context of Southeast Asian cuisine and tropical agriculture.
