Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 B " H There is a fruit that is sold in Israel called Pamella. You'll understand why in just a moment. It is a citrus fruit, somewhat larger than a grapefruit (nudge, nudge, hint, hint). It has a bright green pitted skin underneath which is quite a bit of pith. After peeling that away, we're left with a fruit that looks just like a grapefruit (there are white and red varieties) but is much sweeter and milder in flavor, if a bit less juicy. Any one know what the Pamella is called in English? There is another fruit that I've been trying to find the English name for. It's the most incredible fruit I've ever seen. The largest ones get almost grapefruit-sized, but I've seen them about the size of baseballs. It has a hot pink smooth skin with brilliant, acid-green leaf-like extensions on it (No; I didn't take any " acid " in order to be able to see this thing). The skin peels away easily and completely to reveal an almost tasteless, but juicy white-fleshed fruit studded with small, edible, black seeds.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I believe that would be a Pommelo to us. My understanding is it is the original grapefruit, before it was crossed with an orange to make it have less pith, etc. rawfood , " Doreen Bell-Dotan " <dordot2001> wrote: > B " H > > There is a fruit that is sold in Israel called Pamella.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 The Latin botanical name is citrus grandis. In English, I have seen it referred to as pummelo (various spellings) or shaddock.

Sounds to me like you're describing something called ugly fruit. They come from Jamaica. Bridgitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I thought ugly fruit at first too, but I don't think that is it. It's skin has alot of green in it. It has been a long time since I have had one, but I think it is juicier than a grapefruit. I think they are only in the US in the winter, but I could be wrong. I hope our stores have them this year, because now I am craving one. ~Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I've seen something similar to your description here and it' s labelled pomello. haven't tried it.
