The pomelo is the largest citrus fruit from the family Rutaceae and the principal ancestor of the grapefruit. It is a natural, i.e., non-hybrid, citrus fruit, native to Southeast Asia. Similar in taste to a sweet grapefruit, the pomelo is commonly consumed and used for festive occasions throughout Southeast Asia.
Pomelo planted in Tambun located in Ipoh is the juiciest, sweetest and biggest in Malaysia due to the abundance of limestone in this area.
