What is the Premium Madou Red Pomelo Like? Characteristics and Taste of Taiwan Red Wendan Pomelo
Besides being famous for its wendan pomelo, Madou also has a large-fruited, bright red-fleshed "red wendan" (red pomelo). Its flesh is thick and juicy, and besides being sweet and fragrant, it also has a slightly tart flavor similar to grapefruit, making it a must-try first choice for many discerning diners at Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Shi brothers, who grow Madou red wendan pomelos, place особое emphasis on quality requirements. Elder Brother Shi spares no expense in developing organic fertilizer, irrigating with eggs and milk. The orchard environment is clean and tidy, with green grass like a carpet. On this land that easily floods, he has grown top-quality red wendan pomelos, overcoming a high level of difficulty that others saw as impossible!
To overcome the problem of the orchard flooding easily, when planting red wendan pomelos, Elder Brother Shi deliberately dug the soil to a depth of more than 2 m. By controlling the water supply, the red wendan pomelos can absorb as much water as possible during the young fruit expansion stage, while water absorption is reduced during the harvest period. Elder Brother Shi said that when he first started growing red wendan pomelos, many people laughed at him, saying that this land floods and it would definitely be impossible to grow them successfully. Since the natural conditions were insufficient, he could only put in double the effort. Even on typhoon days, he would brave the wind and rain to inspect the orchard, accumulating decades of cultivation experience bit by bit, achieving today's abundant harvest hanging heavy on the branches.
On every red pomelo tree, Elder Brother Shi marks a number to conveniently record the growth status and yield of each tree. If he finds that a tree's output value declines year by year, it must be cut down and replanted. To allow the red pomelo plants to grow smoothly, this is an unavoidable decision, because if the fruit trees do not grow well, the quality of the fruit they produce is mostly poor. Only by achieving a balance in these trade-offs can one taste the deliciousness of premium red wendan pomelos!
Rich in vitamin C, red pomelo (red wendan) has thick flesh, and its juice is sweet, tart, and full!
