Hola:
Estoy un poco confundida sobre cuál es la palabra que más se usa en ESTADOS UNIDOS para lo que en España conocemos como "pomelo": grapefruit o pomelo. ¿Alguien podría confirmarme? Encuentro fuentes contrarias.
Gracias.

ugli
It's like a grapefruit but not as tart and it has a wrinkly skin. They are sold in fancy grocery stores. When I first saw one, many years ago, I showed it to my mom, who had lived in Burma (Myanmar). It was common in Burma in her time and she k ew it as a "pomelo". So I think this might be what you're looking for.

P.S. We don't call it a "pomelo" in the U.S.

: Ugli is another name for the tangelo. And yes, we do use "pomelo" in the US.

For clarity:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomelo
The pomelo, pummelo, or in scientific terms Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis, is the largest citrus fruit from the family Rutaceae and the principal ancestor of the grapefruit.[1] It is a natural, i.e., non-hybrid, citrus fruit, native to Southeast Asia and Malaysia.[1] Similar in taste to a large grapefruit, the pomelo is commonly consumed and used for festive occasions throughout Southeast Asia.
Whereas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit
The grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi) is a subtropical citrus tree known for its relatively large sour to semi-sweet, somewhat bitter fruit.[1] Grapefruit is a citrus hybrid originating in Barbados as an accidental cross between the sweet orange (C. sinensis) and pomelo (or shaddock) (C. maxima), both of which were introduced from Asia in the seventeenth century.[2] When found, it was nicknamed the "forbidden fruit".[1] Frequently, it is misidentified as the very similar parent species, pomelo.[3]

Discussion
The pomelo is a separate species while the grapefruit is a hybrid resulting from crossing sweet orange (Citrus sinesis) with pomelo (Citrus maxima).
