The variety of pomelos known as pink pomelo that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326005 Dried pink pomelo (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct purchasing activity for this specific item.

Russell National School Lunch Act).
