Pomelo, also known as pumelo or shaddock, is a citrus fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. The fruit is large, with a thick rind that is typically green or yellow in color. Pomelos can be white or pinkish in color and have a sweet, slightly acidic taste.

In South Africa, pomelos are typically grown in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. They are harvested from May to August and are known for their juicy flesh and refreshing taste. South African pomelos are often eaten raw, or used in salads and other dishes. They are also high in nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
