Pomelo (Da Xanh/Nam Roi)
Pomelo fruit (Citrus maxima) is the largest citrus fruit in the world, originating from Southeast Asia and classified within the Rutaceae family. It features a thick rind, pale green to yellow skin, and flesh ranging from white-yellow to deep pink depending on the variety. Two dominant varieties, Da Xanh and Nam Roi, form the backbone of Vietnamese pomelo exports to Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia. For importers evaluating pomelo as a sourcing category, understanding variety differences is essential for matching the right product to the right market. Da Xanh delivers pink flesh with a Brix range of 9 to 13%, making it a strong fit for premium and supermarket channels. Nam Roi offers yellow flesh with a Brix of 8 to 11%, well-positioned for mainstream and ethnic retail segments. Both varieties share a 60-day shelf life at 2 to 4°C and ship by air or sea freight.View specifications ↓
