Recommendations on how to choose and clean the broom correctly

The popularity of exotic fruits is growing rapidly due to their availability; today any supermarket can boast an impressive assortment of unusual fruits. Problems arise when the question arises of how to choose and then clean an unusual product in order to truly appreciate its taste. The aromatic citrus pomelo raises a lot of questions.

Consumers are confused by its thick skin, white terry layer, and films on the juicy slices. Some people prefer to consume the product like grapefruit. They cut it into two halves and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. The option has a right to exist, but it is better to use more practical and simpler approaches.

Rules for choosing ripe fruit

To get true pleasure from eating a fragrant fruit, you need to learn how to choose it correctly. You should not completely trust cunning sellers; it is better to do it yourself.

• Ripe fruit exudes a persistent and pleasant citrus aroma even from a distance. If the fruit does not smell of anything and is not even covered with film, it is not worth purchasing.
• The color of a high-quality pomelo is uniform, yellow, minor green inclusions are acceptable. Any stains or streaks are unacceptable. They are a sign of stale fruit or non-compliance with the rules of its storage.
• Preference should be given to fruits that are uniform in texture, dense, and slightly soft.You should definitely try to push the skin on the top of the fruit. If it gives in easily and leaves dents, the broom has already begun to rot.
• The peel should be uniform on all parts of the product. If local thickenings are detected, this indicates a violation of the conditions of the fruit.

How to clean a broom to do it quickly and correctly?

Those with strong nails and strong fingers are able to peel the thick skin of a pomelo without additional equipment. Everyone else will have to arm themselves with a small, sharp knife.

Fruit can be processed using one of the following methods:

1. Wash the fruit thoroughly under cool running water, dry it, and cut off the top. Using the tip of the knife, we begin to lead from a randomly selected place on the cut in a spiral downward. We pick up a piece of peel with our fingers and remove it from the surface in one piece. If the pomelo is ripe, this should not cause any problems.

Tip: Experts and experienced housewives recommend peeling the fruit in a deep bowl. The fruit is very juicy and you need to try not to lose a drop of aromatic and refreshing moisture.

2. We also wash and dry the fruit, making a cut at the top. From the top to the bottom we make several deep cuts. The more there are, the easier it will be to clean. Remove the resulting petals with your fingers.

After pre-processing, we divide the fruit kernel into separate slices. They are covered with a thick film that you should not try to clean with your nails.It is better to cut each element in a narrow part along the border of the slice, open it and carefully turn it inside out. The film will not linger on the lower part either; the main thing is not to tear it, but to carefully separate it from the grains.

Features of pomelo that need to be taken into account when consuming it

Unlike grapefruit, the fruit is very sweet, so it is highly recommended not to sprinkle it with sugar or pour honey. This will only harm its taste. If the fruit is bitter or very sour, it is better to throw it away. A ripe pomelo can only be moderately sweet and aromatic.

The pulp of the fruit can be consumed not only as a dessert on its own. Connoisseurs actively add the component to salads, not only fruit ones, and prepare sauces and dressings for fish, poultry, and meat. The main thing is not to use too many spices, otherwise the beauty of the product will be lost against the background of their pungent aromas.

Many people compare pomelo to grapefruit or orange, trying to use them as a substitute for each other. In fact, these are completely different fruits, with their own characteristics and unique properties.
