Have you ever heard of a Red Pomelo?
My experience with pomelo is limited to one excellent asian market I go to in another city, where they have the largest pomelos I've ever seen for 3.00. The pomelo is always somewhat dry (as opposed to juicy), and tastes like a very mellow grapefruit on steroids, with only a very mild citrus sweetness. We love them.
The other day I saw pomelos for the first time ever in my town! They were a little small and puny, but they were only 1.99 so I bought two. I opened one yesterday and it was just a red grapefruit! I was so angry to pay 1.99 for a slightly oversized grapefruit. But then I checked the sticker and it did indeed say "red pomelo". However I still feel uncertain because it 100% tasted and looked like pink grapefruit.
