The MeloGold Grapefruit is a cross between a Pummelo and a White Grapefruit. This fruit is extremely large with yellowish green pebbly skin and pale yellow flesh that is sweet-tart in flavor. Like a Pummelo, this fruit has a thicker rind than regular grapefruit, is almost seedless and is very juicy. The Melogold is an outstanding hybrid, available for a few short months. This delicious fruit can stand on its own, can be peeled, segmented and added raw to salads, salsas, beverage or fruit cocktails. Use olive oil, honey, vinegar, salt, sugar or chiles to enhance the grapefruit flavor, or used in cooked applications. The juice can be used to make sorbets, granitas, shrubs, syrups, gastriques, vinaigrettes, and marinades. Use the rind to make marmalade or candied grapefruit peel. Store whole White grapefruit in the refrigerator for up to a month.
