The price of pomelos went up at the Asian grocery stores here around Chinese New Year. At first I thought, just another round citrus fruit. Round - the moon, having family together, bountiful, etc. but I was wrong.
Pomelo in Chinese sounds like "blessing" so the fruit is auspicious. However, pomelo season coincides with Mid-Autumn Festival not Chinese New Year. At least in America, this fruit seems to have become part of both festival celebrations.
