| | Pummelo |
 | | Fruit is oblate to round, obovoid, or pear-shaped; of medium size, 4 in (10 cm) wide; peel light-yellow, smooth, thick; albedo cream-colored to white; pulp pale-orange, or pink, in 12 to 14 segments; of good flavor; very juicy; many, medium-sized seeds. |
 | | After 3 months, the peel will be deeply wrinkled but the pulp will be juicier and of more appealing flavor than in the fresh fruit. |
 | | Like that of other citrus fruits, the peel of the pummelo contains skin irritants, mainly limonene and terpene, also citral, aldehydes, geraniol, cadinene and linalool, which may cause dermatitis in individuals having excessive contact with the oil of the outer peel. |
