Pomelo
''Citrus maxima'' (or ''Citrus grandis''), (Common names: shaddock, pomelo, pummelo, pommelo, pamplemousse, or shaddok) is a natural (non-hybrid) citrus fruit, with the appearance of a big grapefruit, native to South and Southeast Asia.
==Etymology==
''Citrus maxima'' was originally called "shaddock" in English, after the captain of an East India Company ship who introduced it to Jamaica in 1696.〔American Heritage Dictionary, 1973.〕 The word "pomelo" has become the more common name, although "pomelo" has historically been used for grapefruit. (The 1973 printing of the American Heritage Dictionary, for example, gives grapefruit as the only meaning of "pomelo".)
The etymology of the word "pomelo" is uncertain. It is thought to perhaps be an alteration of the Dutch ''pompelmoes'' (meaning ''Citrus maxima'', although modern regional Dutch use may additionally refer to the yellow/white grapefruit, while the pink grapefruit may be called ''roze pompelmoes'', and "pomelo" refers to Citrus maxima × Citrus × paradisi) or alternatively, perhaps an alteration of a compound of ''pome'' ("apple") + ''melon''.〔“(pomelo, ''n.'' )” listed in the Oxford English Dictionary (style="font-variant:small-caps">Draft revision; June 2008 )〕
''Citrus maxima'' is native to Southeast Asia where it is known under a wide variety of names. In large parts of South East Asia, it is a popular dessert, often eaten raw sprinkled with, or dipped in, a salt mixture. It is also eaten in salads and drinks.
