The huge green citrus fruit you see in our produce islands above the grapefruit is the pomelo. This 'granddaddy' of the grapefruit is very popular in Asian cuisine. Try the recipe for Thai Pomelo Salad shown below, adapted from a Food.com recipe.
Incidentally, the Minneola tangelo, which you also see in our store, is a hybrid of the Dancy tangerine and the pomelo. It derives its sweetness from the tangerine, and its tartness from the pomelo.
