Authentic Rongxian Shatian Pomelo Gift Box

Discover the legendary taste of the Shatian Pomelo, a revered fruit with a history documented as far back as the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty (1585). Sourced directly from the "Home of Shatian Pomelo" in Rongxian, Guangxi, these fruits are cultivated in a specific microclimate where significant day-and-night temperature shifts allow for exceptional sugar accumulation. Known for its crisp texture and honey-like aroma, this fruit delivers a pure, sweet eating experience without the bitterness or acidity often found in other citrus varieties.

Key Benefits

Pure Sweet Flavor:** Unlike standard grapefruits or pomelos that may carry tartness, the Rongxian Shatian variety is celebrated for being "pure sweet" with no sour aftertaste. The juice is clear, refreshing, and leaves a lingering, aromatic finish.

Crisp and Tender Texture:** The flesh is distinctively crisp and tender, offering a satisfying mouthfeel that bursts with juice.

Optimal Harvest Timing:** Harvested around the "Frost Descent" solar term, the fruit is picked only after it has fully developed its rich, honeyed fragrance and high sugar content due to the region's unique weather patterns.

Orchard Fresh Quality:** Each fruit is selected and freshly picked from the orchard to ensure peak freshness upon arrival.

Traditional Presentation:** This gift box edition includes fresh pomelo leaves, symbolizing good luck and cleansing, making it an excellent choice for holiday gifting or family gatherings.

How to Use

Peeling:** The rind is thick and protective. Use a knife to cut off the top cap, then score the skin vertically from top to bottom in several sections. Peel away the thick outer rind.

Segmenting:** Pull the fruit apart into individual segments.

Serving:** Peel away the thin, papery white membrane surrounding the flesh, as this part can be tough. The inner flesh is ready to eat immediately.

Culinary Uses:** Enjoy fresh as a hydrating snack, toss into fruit salads for a crisp texture, or use the flesh as a garnish for desserts.

Care & Safety

Storage:** Store the whole fruit in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight.

Aging Process:** Shatian pomelos are unique in that they can be stored for an extended period. Allowing the fruit to sit for a short time until the skin slightly softens (a process known as "shou zhi") often helps concentrate the sugars, making the flesh even sweeter and more tender.

Notes
