How to peel a pummelo (aka pumelo, pomelo)

[BlaineAmerica]

You can get pummelos at your local super markets.

[iaskwhynot]

I take a medication that does not allow me to have grapefruit in any form, because of the affects it has on the drugs metabolism. Are pummelos that similar to grapefruits that I shouldn't even try one for the first time? kkrysa0441@charter.net

[iaskwhynot]

I'm on a medication that I can't have any form of grapefruit. Is a pummelo so similar to a grapefruit that I shouldn't even try one for the first time?

I was lost in Fiji and this is all I ate to survive ..... Very bitter but a he'll of a lifesaver

[jacklambertwilson]

Music make me mute my computer.

[moliflower]

Not the way we peel it. You can't make a pomelo hat this way.

[fisksam]

You made a right hash of that u pennis

[ready4sumfootball]

Very cute music and it fits with the overall spirit of this video -- innocent and happy! :-) Did you record the song yourself?

[2013flower]

that is the gayist song i ever heard

[joshuakleinman]

This guy is a badass...not joking at all

[annettesalsman]

I peel them differently, but nice video, nonetheless.

[AzulDiamond93]

when i first saw 1...i was like THE FUCK IS IT?!

and geezz wonder how i'll fit it in my juicer?? ;?

[kelleeeykeene2]

Hey this is a great video! Hope it is okay, I just added a link to this video on my food blog. I was writing about a pomelo!

if you want to see it, - the blog is called The Gourmet Student. Unfortunately I can't post the link to it, but hopefully you can find it! =)

[rosmerimine]

Im in the middle of eating one right now in the UK!!!

I think mine is a bit dry though :(

[natrlchallenge]

How long do they last in the fridge after being peeled?

[rutger5000]

Horrible cover of a great song, otherwise thanks for showing me how to peel a pomelo.

[petersj16]

[petersj16]

[300zx1985]

[MemoryDesigns]

I saw one of these in Publix yesterday and I had no clue what it was. The search I did landed me watching your video. Very helpful. I think I may try one of these now.

[300zx1985]

@MemoryDesigns i just got back from publix, decided to try one on a whim,. excellent taste, something any fruit lover will enjoy.

[tapjakahvel]

[westykitten]

Can't wait to try it!:) They look delicious!

[iceman87ify]

in my country you can get much giant grapefruits like that..THE SMELL and taste is good..yummy

[roccoownzu2]

Where can I get these giant grapefruits?

[chitlinsandhotsauce]

Tastes like a grapefruits bigger bro

[geordiedave42]

what a lovely tasting fruit

[Koshkesh88]

I love Pomelos! I eat the chinese honey ones that are pear shaped. I just cut them in half and then use the knife to open each "lock" to the fruit sockets and lift it out. I eat them every day so naturally I had to develop a fast technique to eat them.

[steffen54321]

Oranges are deliciously sweet, while grapefruits are too sour.. I found the pomelo to be perfect, different from the orange but not as sour as the grapefruit.. Maybe you've just had some that were sour.. !?

[steffen54321]

Compared to a grapefruit ?

[GJliz]

How do I know when it is ripe? (Mine's green)

[lifestandstillhere]

I was absolutely seduced by one of these today at the market. It's so gorgeous, the green!

Thanks for showing people who've never had one how to peel it!

Can't wait to try it for breakfast tomorrow or Monday!

[Michaelsp9]

Hahaha it looks like a GIANT grape fruit

[BloodyReasons]

my god. what a job to eat just that little piece...

[Gundude5]

can i get one of these in new york???

[tacoma5050]

yes, you will start seeing them in fruit markets around November thur Feb.

[140625]

or you could just cut the skin into four and peel from there...

[mikeygeneral]

Man, That's a lot a work

An Asain orange had sex with a West Indian grapefruit and bore a pumelo. True story.

[SebastianBach99]

Seems some folks don't know the origin of the song: "Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz - it was made famous by Judy Garland (who she?...ah, how time marches on..)

Saw this video somewhere else - creator is called Paul - so we are watching "Paul's Pumelo Peel."

[3mily5ays]

I love pummelo but I never put sugar on them; I like them unadulterated. :)

[MrFerdo]

Aselin Debison

[shsimbimbo]

Really nice production with that music in the background. Who sang on this video?

[tacoma5050]

I think it's Aselin Debison from her "Sweet Is the Melody" album. Also checkout Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of same song. I think Aselin was inspired by Israel's arrangement of the song.

[cahbayb]

i usually just cut it in half and eat it like a grape fruit cause thats what it looks like when you chop it in half i guess? xD

[kablah8900]

skillage. i usually just chop it in half.

p.s how come some are red and some are yellow?

[MrFerdo]

whats the name of the song and who is the performer?

[brunnjon]

It's a cover of a cover. Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

The original version of the one being covered here is excellent, and better in my opinion. Google or youtube the artist: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

[grckm123]

this is weird.. useful, i guess, but weird.. and random.. i mean, pummelos? so weird...

[jwuonog]

I just bought my first one ever. I went to the grocery store with the intent of buying grapefruits, but I saw these HUGE citrus fruits, and decided I would get one! Gonna eat it later tonight.

[jadapoo1]

Best fruit ever. I'm completely addicted! I keep bags of them in my home. The season is almost up so I really need to stock up...

[sholleran]

This was PERFECT!! Pumelo are rare & exotic here in the upper midwestern USA (Chicagoland) and we desperately needed instruction on preparation. However ours was 60% rind... I see there are many varieties and I wish ours was more like that one. Still, delicious is delicious.

[butschiemaus]

ich hätte jetzt auch gerne eine...

[mayKatie]

oh my god.. so much work :O

[brianmchugh091]

Its like sex !!!! no wait its better then sex !!!lol

[PianoLT]

NORAH JONEs SUCKS !!!

israel original track......

Nice job with pummelo :)

[realpainter]

The only yellow one was a bit soft..........Mine is green,,,,will it turn yellow ??

[PrankKiddos]

i want a pummelo!! i go by ane

[nannajuhl]

i take 40 min. about peeling a pomelo XD! Haha

[senseiji221]

if its really sour i suggest to dip a little bit into salt. ive tried it and it really helps. but if its sweet or has enough taste to fil lyour mouth dont dip anything at all

[morrison1515]

haah thanks for that, we bought one not knowing what it was, and now i know what to do with it, so thanks :)

[koko81]

Anya köszöni a videót, azt se tudta, mi az a pomelo :D

[heartsofstone989]

thats alot of work for a figging fruit lol

[SweetRush21]

I bought one of these at the grocery store today on a whim, so thank you very much for this video haha

It seems I have no idea what I'm getting myself into!

[sicarius88]

[ijonspechesn]

[Bannod]

Norah Jones

[ijonspechesn]

didnt expect it to be such i big one though.

it comes so naturally and off-mainstream.

i shouldnt always judge books by the cover :)

[dyslexicdigits]

It's Aselin Debison from her Sweet Is the Melody album. Nice choice from this project.

[DocWriter1]

Loved the video and the music. DocWriter1

[DocWriter1]

Loved the video and the music. I have a heavily-producing pomelo tree and this video was just what I needed. Thanks. DocWriter1

[wickstar69]

thanks man - couldnt figure it out!

[gdizzlesfc]

this song is a remix of israel kamakawiwo'ole somewhere over the rainbow

[joealtair3000]

giant orange?

[anne2matthew]

This looks very different than what I grow

[ICandii124]

o_O IF YEW MIXED A ORANGE AND A GRAPEFRUIT TOGETHER :P ITLL LOOK LIKE THAT XD LOL ^_^ THAT VIDEO MADE MEH WANT BOTH o_O LOL

[SpaceyStacey1975]

VERY skilled ninja work here... Keep up the good work Pummelo Master. Now I am hungry. hehehe

[slownoma88]

Nicely done video of the complex process to separate the fruit of the pummelo from the skin. Thanks for the effort.

[AuronWarrior]

Pomeo taste bitter.

[tacoma5050]

Pummelos are generally sweeter than grapefruits and not as sweet as an orange. Maybe you got one that wasn't quite ripe. Just like grapefruits, some people use sugar on their pummelos.

[theorabbit]

@AuronWarrior yeah, you must have got a bad one, they are delicous.
