Wangcang Pomelo

Wangcang Pomelo

　　Wangcang’s specialty pomelo, also known as mandarin orange or citrus, belongs to the citrus family and is one of the finest varieties cultivated in China. The fruit is tall and flat-round or simply flat-round in shape, weighing 110–150 grams per piece. Its peel is bright orange-yellow, glossy, and easy to peel. The segments are plump, with large juice sacs that yield abundant, richly flavored juice. The flesh is crisp, tender, and refreshing, making it an exceptionally high-quality fruit. Wangcang-grown pomelos are sweet without being sour, suiting most palates, and contain up to 30.65 mg of vitamin C per 100 ml. As early as 1990, Wangcang pomelos won first prize at the Guangyuan City Fruit Evaluation Competition. Currently, pomelos account for the largest cultivation area in Wangcang’s citrus production, covering over 6,500 acres with an annual output of 26,000 tons.
