If you’ve never had a pomelo before, you’re in for a treat! This large citrus fruit is similar to a grapefruit but has a sweeter taste and milder flavor. Although its size and thick rind may seem intimidating, peeling a pomelo is actually quite easy. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to peel a pomelo like a pro!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 fresh pomelo
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Bowl or plate

Step 1: Prepare your work area

Start by finding a clean and flat surface to work on. Place a cutting board on the surface to protect it from cuts and juices. Make sure to have a bowl or plate nearby to hold the pomelo segments once you’ve peeled them.

Step 2: Cut off the ends

Take the pomelo and position it vertically on the cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top and bottom ends of the pomelo. This will create stable flat surfaces for the fruit to stand upright as you peel it.

Step 3: Score the rind

Using the same knife, make shallow cuts through the thick rind of the pomelo from top to bottom. Space the cuts about 1 inch apart and avoid cutting into the flesh of the fruit. This will make it easier to remove the rind in the next step.

Step 4: Peel off the rind

Now, gently pull away the skin and rind from the fruit, using your fingers or the knife to help if necessary. The thick rind should come off easily in large pieces, revealing the juicy segments underneath. Take your time and be careful not to remove too much of the fruit along with the rind.

Step 5: Separate the segments

Once the rind is removed, you can see the individual segments of the pomelo. Using your fingers or a knife, separate the segments by gently pulling them apart along the natural lines. Be careful not to break or crush the segments in the process.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Your pomelo is now ready to be enjoyed! You can eat the segments as they are or use them in various recipes like salads, desserts, or even in smoothies for a refreshing treat.

Now that you know how to peel a pomelo, don’t be intimidated by its size and thick rind. Follow these simple steps and enjoy this delicious citrus fruit with ease. Get ready to savor the sweet and tangy flavors of the pomelo!
