The soil and climate there produce the much sought after plump, sweet and juicy pomeloes. And the brand which I usually buy is Sunny Fruit. Recently, NTUC is selling the Sunny Fruit pomeloes at $6.99. What a steal! Sunny Fruit pomeloes are usually quite pricey and only sold at respectable fruit stores. I just bought one from NTUC and was pleasantly surprised to discover that its pulp is pinkish. Nice!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17664\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17664\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17664 \" title=\"pomelo pulp 1 blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/pomelo-pulp-1-blog.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/pomelo-pulp-1-blog.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/pomelo-pulp-1-blog-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pink crystalline pulp &#8211; ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hannah had tried pomelo about a year ago and didn&#8217;t like it.
