Which type of red pomelo is sweeter and tastiest

Among the red heart pomelos, the sweetness and taste of Fujian Guanxi honey pomelo, Guangxi Rongxian Shatian pomelo, and Guangdong Meizhou golden pomelo are particularly prominent. The main factors affecting the sweetness of grapefruit include variety characteristics, planting environment, maturity, picking time, storage conditions, etc.

1. The flesh of Fujian Guanxi honey pomelo

is dark red, with a balanced sugar acid ratio and a sweetness of over 13 degrees. The skin is thin and smooth, the flesh is delicate and juicy, with a unique honey aroma. The maturity period is from late October to November, and the sweetness accumulation is more abundant in production areas with large temperature differences between day and night. When making a purchase, it is best to pay attention to the uniform color of the fruit peel and the elasticity when pressed.

2. Shatian pomelo from Rong County, Guangxi

is a traditional famous variety with bright orange red flesh and a stable sugar content of 12-15 degrees. The fruit is flat and round in shape, with few and thin valves, and good slag removal at the entrance. The unique sandy soil planting environment makes it rich in minerals and has a noticeable aftertaste. It is recommended to choose medium-sized fruits with a single fruit weight of 1.5-2 pounds.

3. Guangdong Meizhou Golden Pomelo

improved variety, with bright rose red flesh and a sweetness of up to 14-16 degrees. The skin is golden, thick, and resistant to storage, with outstanding vitamin C content. After a late maturity period of 12 months, the sugar conversion is sufficient, and the sweetness will further increase after low-temperature storage. The quality of epidermal oil cells with uniform distribution and glossiness is better.

4. Yunnan Plateau Red Heart Pomelo

is planted at high altitude, which delays the ripening period and has a long sugar accumulation cycle. The flesh has a reddish purple color, high anthocyanin content, and a sweet taste with a slight acidity. The climate characteristic of large temperature difference between day and night makes its soluble solid content exceed 15%. It is recommended to choose fruits harvested after frost.

5. Taiwan Ruby Pomelo

has crystal clear flesh like ruby, with a sugar content of 13-14 degrees. Thin and easy to peel, high seedless rate, with a light rose fragrance. The requirements for planting techniques are high, and high-quality fruits need to control the amount of fruit hanging per plant. It is best to pay attention to the freshness of the fruit stem and the absence of concave spots on the skin when purchasing.

It is recommended to prioritize products directly supplied from the country of origin when purchasing. Freshly picked pomelos will have better sweetness after being stored at room temperature and ventilated for a week. Before consumption, grapefruit can be placed in a cool and shady place for 2-3 days to reduce acidity. It is advisable to take 200-300g per day, and diabetes patients need to control their intake. When storing, avoid mixing with fruits such as apples and bananas that release a large amount of ethylene to prevent them from ripening too quickly and affecting the flavor.
