Okay, so POMELOs are my new favorite fruit here. Lindsay showed them to me since they are lower in sugar and high in fiber. They are pretty big, like about 8" diameter, at least, so they look like a jumbo grapefruit.......I had never seen one or tasted one before (or, quite frankly, heard of it). They taste like a grapefruit too, but they are not sour, so they are much better in my opinion even though I like grapefruit.
Here's the deal, though: the pithe (white stuff) in them is like superstrong. I couldn't even peel it. So I bought one already peeled, and I could barely pull the thing apart, I had to use a knife!? Talk about fibrous!
The best way to buy a pomelo in Thailand, therefore, is pre-peeled and pre-sectioned, as shown in the picture below. Fortunately, it is not that difficult to find that way. Then all you have to do is rip into it and devour it. It's sooooooooo good, filling, and the best snack ever. I really want to WATCH one of the market people when they do peel it and cut it up, some day, because I canNOT figure it out, LOL! This fruit is TOUGH!
P.S. I worked out twice yesterday, once as a personal training session with Lindsay, and WHOAH am I sore from all the squats and lunges and abs. I'm so glad I did it since I won't be able to afford any VIP sessions to work on my technique after all except maybe as a very occasional treat......We did it as circuit training, and I am glad it's simple and powerful enough that I can stick with it.
