Premium Green-Skin Pomelo – The “King of Citrus” from the Mekong Delta

1. Introduction to Green-Skin Pomelo

Green-Skin Pomelo (Citrus maxima), globally recognized for its vibrant green rind and ruby-pink flesh, is Vietnam’s most prestigious citrus variety. Unlike other pomelos, the Green-Skin variety is prized for being seedless (or near-seedless), having thin skin, and offering a perfect balance of refreshing sweetness and mild acidity without any bitterness.

At Vinahugo, we source our pomelos from the “GlobalGAP” certified orchards of Bến Tre and the Mekong Delta. Each fruit is a masterpiece of tropical agriculture, known for its long shelf life and high juice content.
