Autumn is here! and its time for picking sweet and delicious fresh pomelos at Toucheng Farm!
Pomelos are sometimes called Chinese grapefruit or shaddock. This fruit is native to South East Asia. When ripe, it is pale green to yellow and has a very thick rind. Its flesh is sweet white (there are pink ones, too.)
This is the largest of the citrus fruit family.( citrus maxima)
One of the major celebrations in the Chinese calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on this day it is customary to eat pomelo while watching the full moon. It is a rounded fruit, shaped like the moon as this festival is also called Moon Festival. They believe that the moon is at its "roundest and biggest" at this time of the year. 
Do you know that the peeling or rind of pomelos can also be used to make marmalade or candied then mixed with chocolate? The Chinese also cook it as flavoring or for sweet soup desserts.
Here are some photos of the guests who enjoy picking pomelos at Toucheng Farm and bring it home for every one to taste.
