Love these four type of pomelo. Very juicy and sweet crisp texture. Very fresh as well and beautiful packaging.
JW
A beautiful and festive box of the four famous pomelos. I'm really looking forward to it.
琨
These grapefruit is so sweet and juicy, always buy
Linaphuong01
A good way to try different pomelos. Red pomelo: juicy, minor bitterness, taste a little bit like grapefruits. Golden pomelo: not as juicy, no bitterness, gentle sweet. Triple red pomelo: somewhat juicy and minor sweet. Honey pomelo: somewhat juicy, a little bit wine aroma. The ripeness affects the taste of the fruits. In my box, that's what it tasted to us.

I'm giving these out a Chinese New Year as a gift. Praying that it turn out good. I brought these in the past months and years, they are so good. If I get good response from the receivers, will definitely buy more to eat.
Van
The new version is disappointing. It's much sourer than before. The previous four famous pomelos were all quite sweet, and we could eat one a day. This new version, even two are sour. We can't even finish one in a week before it goes bad.

They're different! nnnnnnn

Red pomelos are okay, the others are quite dry. Yellow pomelos are the driest.

It tastes good but dry a bit.
Diane Phung
Three quarters of the thickness is made up of the skin on the top, and one quarter is meat, about the size of a child's palm. My bone-chopping knife can hardly cut the rocky meat, and it tastes astringent when I lick it. It doesn't feel like a grapefruit, but a citron that has not developed well and has no fragrance.

The grapefruit is too dry, without moisture, and not very delicious.

These cocktail grapefruits (also known as Mandelos) are absolutely delicious. I ordered a case last week and my family has already ordered 2 more cases. Despite what some other reviews say, the fruit that is more orange is not rotten or spoiled. Early in the season the fruits have a green peel and the flavor is more tart. As the season progresses, cooler winter temperatures cause the chlorophyll in the peel to break down and they begin turning orange. It's the same process that causes oranges to naturally turn orange. On the plus side, later in the season, the fruit gets sweeter due to being on the tree longer. If you need a green skin, it's best to order in December or early January.

Dried up, some are broken.

Golden yellow with an orange tint → will be sweeter. More green → will be more acidic.

I often repurchase these pomelos; they're sweet and juicy. The only downside is that they have many seeds, but that doesn't prevent me from buying them again.

The pomelos were packaged very well. I've bought them many times. The yellower they are, the sweeter they are.

There were 10 in total. They weren't very big, but they were very fresh. I tried one, and it hurt! Great! I'd definitely buy them again if there was a discount :)

It's fresher and tastier than expected. You still need to use a fruit knife to cut it open; if you break it by hand, the juice will ooze everywhere
