If you’re a fan of pomelos, you might have encountered the frustration of buying a seemingly large and beautiful pomelo only to find it has very few and dry segments inside. That’s why you should pay attention to this trick for counting pomelo segments without having to peel the whole fruit, so you can choose a delicious one!
Counting Pomelo Segments Without Peeling
Take a look at the stem of the pomelo. Look closely at the round portion near the stem and count the number of white veins. The number of veins on the stem indicates the number of segments the pomelo will have! It’s super simple.

These small white veins on the stem of the pomelo will tell you how many segments it has
If you’re too lazy to count, we’ll tell you that the pomelo in the above gif has 14 white veins on its stem. Try peeling it and see if it indeed has 14 segments.

Exactly 14 segments!
This is a simple trick that allows you to determine the number of segments in a pomelo without having to peel it.
