Fruit Seller - Near Cemetery

Kanchanaburi, Thailand

Pomelos and coconuts! 35 baht for a whole pomelo or 20 baht for a package.

The pomelo originated most likely from Malaysia and Indonesia where it grew wild. Also, it was grown by the Chinese for thousands of years. Most of the varieties found today
have been bred and grown. A large pomelo is the largest of all citrus. They can grow to be as large as a foot in diameter and up to 25 pounds. The rind is very thick but soft
and easy to peel away. The resulting fruit is light yellow to coral-pink flesh and can vary from juicy to slightly dry and from seductively spicy-sweet to tangy and tart.
The pomelo is also known as a shaddock.
