What is the difference between pomelo and pomelo? Which is better?

They are all grapefruits, but the varieties are different, and the main production areas are also different. Sha Tin pomelo is abundant in Guangxi, while honey pomelo is mainly in Meizhou, Guangdong.

There is also a slight difference in their appearance, the skin of the pomelo is the thinnest, and the size is relatively large. Sha Tin pomelo is the sweetest.

Honey grapefruit is sour, Sha Tin pomelo is sweet; That's why I like pomelo.

The pomelo skin is thin, the seeds are small, the water is more, and it is relatively sour! Sha Tin pomelo has thick skin, large seeds, less moisture, and is very sweet!

If you love to eat sour, choose pomelo, and if you love sweetness, choose Sha Tin pomelo!
