1. Introduction to Green-Peel Pomelo
Table of Contents
The Green-Peel Pomelo is widely regarded as the most prestigious pomelo variety in Vietnam. Originally from the Ben Tre province in the Mekong Delta, it is famous for its “Green-Skin, Pink-Heart” appearance. Unlike other citrus fruits, this pomelo is characterized by its thin rind, seedless segments, and a perfect balance of sweetness and mild acidity. Its firm, juicy vesicles (juice sacs) do not break easily, making it a favorite for both fresh consumption and international export.
At Vinahugo, we supply premium Green-Peel Pomelos harvested from GlobalGAP-certified orchards, ensuring a consistent year-round supply of the highest quality fruit.
