Pomelo, healthy alternative or pointless environmental waste?
-
Pomelos can be confusing for translators because pomelo in English stands for grapefruit and in Spanish and French it is used for grapefruit. In Germany and the Netherlands, the pomelo is just pomelo. The translation confusion is the reason that the Dutch wikipedia site is currently only nonsense about the pomelo; all information on that site refers to the grapefruit only. Pomelo is a large citrus fruit that was crossed from a grapefruit and a grapefruit in 1970. The pomelo is still not quite successful as a product with the general public, even though it has been around for over 40 years.

Eating pomelo in the west is bad for the environment because the fruit has to travel 3000 to 13,000 kilometers in an airplane. That causes a lot of extra environmental pollution.
