Yizhou Shatian Pomelo

　　Yizhou Shatian pomelos are known for their large size, thin rind, bright orange-yellow color, strong fragrance, crisp and translucent flesh that is easy to separate, sweet and delicious taste—earning them the reputation of being a “natural can.”

　　Yizhou, the hometown of Liu Sanjie, is China’s “hometown of Shatian pomelos.” According to the *Yizhou County Annals*, since the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the pomelos produced here were once offered as tribute to the imperial court. In 1990, Yizhou was designated by Guangxi Autonomous Region as a production base city for Shatian pomelos. Yizhou Shatian pomelos boast excellent qualities such as large size, thin rind, bright orange-yellow color, strong fragrance, crisp and translucent flesh that is easy to separate, sweet and delicious taste, good storability and transportability, and are rich in various vitamins and amino acids—earning them the reputation of being a “natural can.” Their pollution-free production method ensures the fruit’s hygiene, healthiness, and safety. Regular consumption is believed to aid digestion, nourish the lungs, clear heat and toxins, relieve coughs, and promote longevity, making them an excellent gift choice. In recent years, the product has sold well domestically and been exported to regions such as Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. In 1996, it won the National Golden Cup Award in the pomelo quality competition.
