4 Reasons This Remarkable Table Scrap is Worth Your Attention

Not the rind. Not the juicy flesh. Sink your teeth into a well-padded pomelo pith and you’ll find a lovingly cake-like yet soft, fibrous mouthful.

Char it black. Rub it clean. Sponge it plenty. Squeeze it well.

The rind-removed pomelo pith is then ready for braising. Want it smooth? Soak in oil. Want it healthy? Let it swell with good water. Savory or sweet, you preside.

Savory braising sauce: Fish broth with dried shrimps works. Abalone sauce derived over long hours is oh so umami! The wholistic pith accommodates all goodness.

Traditional Chinese wellness practice says pomelo (Citrus maxima) pith/peel* —

• breaks up fats
• heightens intestinal movements
• dissolves phlegm
• dispels gaseous discomfort in the chest.

Rethinking table scraps, anyone?
