9. Pomelo: The Citrus Giant
While preserving its firm texture and unique sweet-tart taste, the Citrus Giant pomelo adds a revitalising citrus accent to tropical fruit salads. Its big, juicy pieces combine especially nicely with snake fruit to create a dynamic interaction of flavours and textures. While its great vitamin C content helps retain the freshness of other fruits, the natural citrus oils of the fruit give the salad a fragrant depth. Choose pomelos from fruits with a fresh, citrussy scent and feel weighty for their size. Careful removal of the thick pith will expose jewel-like pieces under. Excellent sources of antioxidants and fibre, pomels help to add to the nutritional worth of the fruit salad. While their mild sweetness accentuates the complicated taste of snake fruit, their natural acidity helps other fruits stay from oxidising. The big chunks of the fruit can be split into tiny bits to produce ideal bite-sized portions that equally cover the salad.
