After all, "Jaffa sweetie" is a ridiculous name, and "pomelit" (i.e. pomelah+eshkolit = פומלה+אשכולית = pomelo+grapefruit) would make no sense to someone who doesn't speak Hebrew.<br /><br />Shabbat Shalom!Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-40562709001554135342011-02-10T20:22:21.158+02:002011-02-10T20:22:21.158+02:00You are right.

We don't bother the tree, and it doesn't bother us... :-)<br /><br />Ilana-Davita - If it has green skin, it's probably a pomelit (aka a "Jaffa sweetie"), not a grapefruit. A pomelit is a cross between a grapefruit and a pomelo...<br /><br />Miriyummy - LOL! :-)Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-27879374950820520422011-02-10T12:10:32.774+02:002011-02-10T12:10:32.774+02:00Pomelos are divine, and most of the time worth the...Pomelos are divine, and most of the time worth the effort of peeling them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-64204092028004227262011-02-09T14:32:06.061+02:002011-02-09T14:32:06.061+02:00Here we get lovely green grapefruit that come from...Here we get lovely green grapefruit that come from Israel; nice and sweet.
