Soft-dried pomelo peel. Made from the part that normally gets thrown away.
This line is peel, not segments. A dedicated processing step takes the bitterness out while the peel keeps its own citrus aroma, and what is left is a chewy piece — tender, but substantial enough to survive being cooked, coated or blended into something else.

Every other line in this range is fruit flesh sold to be eaten out of the bag. This one is the outer layer of the fruit, made for a buyer who is going to put it into something else.
Peel, with the aroma still in it
The chew is tender but has body behind it, so the piece keeps its shape rather than dissolving into whatever it is mixed with. The citrus aroma comes from the peel's own oils, which is why it carries scent before it carries taste.
A step built to remove one thing
Raw pomelo peel is bitter, and that bitterness is the reason it is normally thrown out rather than eaten. A specialised process takes the bitterness out while the citrus aroma stays in. That single step is what turns the peel from waste into an ingredient.
Zero Waste, in the factory's own words
The raw material is what a pomelo operation discards. The factory's own name for this line is Zero Waste: peel that would be thrown out, turned into something saleable. The sourcing story sits in the raw material rather than on the packaging.
The strips, as they come off the line.
The factory's own photographs: three of the dried strips, two of the peel before it is dried.
Who buys the peel, and what it goes into.
Confectionery
Traditional candied peel. The de-bittering is already done, so the piece arrives ready to be coated.
Bakery
Baked in, where the piece has to keep its shape and its scent through the oven instead of disappearing into the crumb.
Tea and infusion blends
Blended dry, where the aroma is doing the work. Tea blends are one of the four uses the factory lists for this line.
Asian-cuisine manufacturers
A component in Asian cooking rather than a snack, bought by the kilo against a recipe. The Zero Waste origin travels with it.
The numbers come with the quote, recipe by recipe.
This line is bought as an ingredient, so the cut form is set by what happens to it next — a confectioner and a tea blender do not want the same piece. Publishing one set of figures here would be wrong for most of the buyers reading it, so these are the fields your quote fills in.

Pomelo peel and the lines beside it.
Pomelo peel is an ingredient line, not a bag on a shelf. The three below are sold to be eaten as they are.
Soft-Dried Guava
Fruit flesh rather than peel, dried with nothing added to it. Sold in the bag it is eaten from, in red-flesh and white-flesh versions.
See the line →
Soft-Dried Soursop
A tender piece that gives way in the mouth — the opposite end of the texture range from a peel that has to survive an oven.
See the line →
Dried Mango with Chilli
A finished retail snack rather than a component: soft-dried mango with chilli, salt and a citric note applied after drying.
