Chinese Grapefruit
Actually a pummelo, this tree bears large fragrant blooms, followed by
yellow pear-shaped fruit which are low in acidity. Height: 8-12 feet at
maturity. | n****7

Having been raised in Hong Kong, I have a hard time understanding the
American fondness for the sour and bitter grapefruit. Even the best
grapefruit is still sour and bitter compared to a pommelo. If you ever tried
to use the term "sweet" to describe a grapefruit, you never tasted a truly
sweet pummelo.
Most pummelos sold in North America are unfortunately of the Chandler (
salmon flesh color) or Oro Blanco (white flesh color) varieties, which are
inferior to the true Chinese pummelos because they still have too much
acidity in them, whereas the Chinese pummelos have practically no hint of
acidity.
It seems the American consumer taste gravitates towards juiciness at the
expense of sweetness. Chinese pummelos are sold by Four Winds Nursery under
the variety name of "Chinese Grapefruit." I believe it is the same variety
as the "Big Wong" Chinese pommelo. They are shaped like a giant Bartlett
pear and ripen to perfect sweetness even in the mild summer climates of the
Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area. Oro Blanco is also shaped like a Bartlette
pear, but it is not a true Chinese pommelo. Oro Blanco has a sourness kick
to it. Oro Blanco is juicy, but has no aroma, whereas the Big Wong has great
aroma and is very sweet, although it's less juicy. I'll go for sweetness
any day. | g******5

佳的东方柚子品种” 文旦” 就是梨形. 中国柚子品种很多, Chinese Grapefruit到
底是什么品种, 难以确定. | g******5
发帖数: 7923 | 7 我不知道这个”Big Wong” 是否就是沙田柚.
沙田柚较甜, 柚子味重些, 而Oro Blanco(或近似的Melogold)也甜, 但有点微酸, 肉细
, 且十分的juicy.
另外, 他文章里有个错误. Oro Blanco并不是梨形, 而是像大多grapefruit形状一样没
尖头.
