I'm only posting this now that I've finished eating it. The skin is a bit thick, so I used it to absorb the smell from the fridge. It's not very juicy but very sweet.

Everything about this delivery went perfectly! The shipping was incredibly fast and everything was packaged perfectly. The fruit is small for it's kind, but I'm excited to have some!! Overall excellent quality for a grocery delivery. Will absolutely order again!
Tangie
Thin-skinned, thick-fleshed, and small-seeded, it's impossible to finish in one meal; you'll have to save it for the next. Family members, hurry up and make some!

JW
A beautiful and festive box of the four famous pomelos. I'm really looking forward to it.
琨
These grapefruit is so sweet and juicy, always buy
Linaphuong01
A good way to try different pomelos. Red pomelo: juicy, minor bitterness, taste a little bit like grapefruits. Golden pomelo: not as juicy, no bitterness, gentle sweet. Triple red pomelo: somewhat juicy and minor sweet. Honey pomelo: somewhat juicy, a little bit wine aroma. The ripeness affects the taste of the fruits. In my box, that's what it tasted to us.
musher
I'm giving these out a Chinese New Year as a gift. Praying that it turn out good. I brought these in the past months and years, they are so good. If I get good response from the receivers, will definitely buy more to eat.
Van
The new version is disappointing. It's much sourer than before. The previous four famous pomelos were all quite sweet, and we could eat one a day. This new version, even two are sour. We can't even finish one in a week before it goes bad.

They're different! nnnnnnn

I always repurchase it because it smells so good. It smells good, and it tastes sweet and sour, which is delicious.

I like it; it's a pretty good deal on the pomelo. I hope it tastes good.

It's fresher and tastier than expected. You still need to use a fruit knife to cut it open; if you break it by hand, the juice will ooze everywhere
Haoran
This is my third time buying this. The pomelo is juicy and tender. I will definitely buy it again.
