As Big as a Human's Head

From my tree that can grow over 20 feet high, I am the largest of the citrus fruits. Originally from Asia, where I have been grown for over 4000 years, today I am also cultivated in Israel, California, Florida and other tropical and subtropical regions. I can be as big as a human's head weighing up to 13 pounds. My thick, coarse, yellow/green/pink skin peels easily and depending on my variety I may be sweet, bitter, full of flavor or tasteless. My Chandler variety (popular in the Unites States) is very sweet and has pink flesh. I have two names, one is common while the other is a captains name from East India who left our seeds in Barbados on his journey back to England. I am very popular with the Vietnamese because of my significance to their New Years festivities. I have been considered by many to be one of the parents of the grapefruit, the other being a sweet orange tree. I have been candied, used in marmalade, added to fruit salads, cooked into a sauce, or simply eaten out of hand. I am a good source of vitamin C and potassium. I am also considered a stomachic, known to stimulate the appetite and to facilitate digestion.

What am I?

Grapefruit
Giant Passion Fruit
Pomelo
Watermelon
