Learn to Supreme Pummelo!
Hefty, aromatic and with uniquely textured flesh, organic pummelo is a citrus that has earned its reputation as a fantastic fresh-eating fruit. But for many, it remains shrouded in mystery.
Similar in appearance to grapefruit with a flavor described as grapefruit-like but without the sour punch, pummelo is the largest of all citrus varieties.
One of the best ways to enjoy this fruit requires a little knife work. Knowing how to supreme, the formal term for this simple process, is a great skill for citrus fans, especially those in possession of a pummelo.
Check out pummelo enthusiast Ana Johns, from OGC's Marketing team, as she demonstrates how to supreme in this instructional video and follow these simple steps.
