How to Cut a Pummelo
Gift from a Sweet Friend, a Bowl Full of Pummelos!
What is a pummelo you ask?? Well, I have posted previously about this wonderful citrus. You can read more about them here: http://www.essortment.com/all/whatisapummel_rldn.htm
My dear friend has a tree in her yard and I am fortunate enough to receive baskets full from her when they are in season. How does one eat such a fruit you ask? Well, they are LOADED with seeds. You have to cut them a certain way to avoid all of the seeds. This is the way I do it and it works great! Follow along step-by-step here:
How to Cut a Pummelo Step by Step
Slice off Each End
With a Long, Sharp Knife Begin to "Fillet" off the Skin

Continue Removing all of the Skin  Now how do you eat it? You could just cut it up and eat it like a grapefruit or have it in an amazing breakfast salad like I do. I love the combination of pummelo and radish. They go together so well for me and I adore how they taste together with just a hint of honey drizzled on top. Oh, and don't forget the sprouts, I added them at the last minute. Take a look at the beautiful organic white radishes I got from my local produce buying club. Here is my simple recipe for Pummelo and White Radish Salad 1 pummelo, peeled and diced Organic romaine, cut into thin ribbons 2 organic white radishes, cut into half rounds raw white sesame seeds A drizzle of local orange blossom honey or tupelo if available Red clover sprouts    ~JMJ~Today I am grateful for fresh, local, organic produce!! I have been buying a half basket every week from a farmer up the road from my home. I pick it up at the local health food store. It has been really good and I am having fun making spur of the moment recipes based on what is in each weeks mystery basket. I never know what will be in each weeks batch, so that keeps it exciting and perhaps a bit challenging too when I am pressed for time and need to plan a menu last minute. But I am just thankful that I can eat local! |
