green amidst the reds.

who says cny must be all red. I can find green festive things to join in the cny series too! and the first green item I found is...Pomelo!

so did abit of googling and here are some facts about pomelo:
- largest citrus fruit in the world!
- signifies abundance as the chinese word for pomelo sounds like 'to have'
- one pomelo is usually shared among a family during cny, symbolising unity.

i like how the pulps burst in my mouth when you eat it. you cant get pomelo all year round, unlike apples and oranges. they are usually only in season in mid-jan to feb which is the cny period. so yes, go get one now!
