The tree was full of huge yellow fruit, so I snagged one and brought it home.

I peeled it and got down to the fruit. The skin on the sections is pretty tough, so I peel the sections and eat the meat. It's not that hard to peel the sections, but it is a little time consuming. You could probably cut it in half and eat it like a grapefruit with a spoon if you want, but I like the peel method better. They taste a lot like a grapefruit, but are more mild in flavor and not sour and not super sweet either. I've swiped 3 now while walking the dogs.

Is it a pomelo?

J/K. I don’t know what in the He77 it is.

Pomelo/jabong taste great when ripe. However, like grapefruit, don't eat too much if you are on cholesterol meds. It counteracts the meds.
