How to pick a pomelo with thin skin and lots of flesh? Keep these 3 points in mind

Autumn is the season when pomelos hit the market, and many food lovers really enjoy eating pomelos. Indeed, pomelos are very tasty and delicious, and at the same time pomelos are recognized by the medical community as the fruit with the greatest therapeutic effect, with very high nutritional value, containing very rich protein, organic acids, vitamins, and essential elements for the human body such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium. Moreover, the vitamin C content in pomelos is 3 times that of lemons. Regularly eating pomelos is not only good for your health, but women who often eat pomelos can also whiten their skin and lighten facial dark spots, making their skin white and radiant. What's more, both the flesh and the peel of pomelos have excellent nutritional value. Normally, after we finish eating a pomelo, we can also use the peel to make tea, which helps with digestion and reduces the burden on the stomach and intestines. When you are drunk, drinking a cup of pomelo tea also has a sobering effect.

Since pomelos have so many benefits, how should we pick a delicious pomelo? I believe this is a question everyone cares about and worries about. It turns out that wanting to buy a pomelo with thin skin, lots of flesh, and sweetness is actually not hard. You just need to firmly remember these three points

Point one: Look at the shape

When we often buy pomelos, we can see that some pomelos are shaped like a roly-poly toy, while others are round like a ball. In that case, we should choose the pomelo with a pointier top, that is, the one that looks more like a roly-poly toy in shape. Do not choose the pomelo with a round top, because a pomelo with a pointier top tastes much better than a round one and is sweeter (of course, its neck should be chosen shorter, not too long; if it is too long, that means less flesh and more peel. It is best to choose a pomelo with a short neck, a flat round shape, and a flat bottom.)

Point two: Weigh it in your hand

Actually, pomelos cannot be picked well based on shape alone. We also need to pick them up and weigh them. For two pomelos of similar shape and hard to tell apart, we can choose the heavier one. A pomelo chosen this way has thinner skin and is usually already ripe.

Point three: See whether the pomelo peel is smooth

Whether the pomelo peel is smooth is actually the most crucial thing. Generally, the peel of a ripe pomelo is relatively fine and smooth, whereas the peel of an unripe pomelo is relatively rough. Moreover, a pomelo with smooth peel indicates that the nutrients inside are relatively abundant, while a pomelo with rough peel usually has thicker skin and insufficient moisture inside, so it is better to choose a pomelo with smooth peel. Also, do not choose the kind of pomelo that feels relatively soft when you press it with your hand, because it either has thick skin or is not very fresh

These are the three most crucial points for picking pomelos summarized by the Tutuliu editors. Did you all note them down? Next time you pick a pomelo, remember to choose according to these 3 points!
