Share Original “Defence Edition” Sample Bag 2x Share Pomelozzini - fermented pomelo (grapefruit) tastes deliciously sweet and sour, vegan, lactose-free | ShareSwiss fermented

They came well packaged, but at the price, I was very surprised to find only three tiny little packages. Naturally, I assumed that a small package must be a dosage, and ate one right away. Let me start by saying it was not unpleasant, the taste was like pomelo, but sweeter, and a lot more intense. They were fairly hard, but certainly easy enough to bite into and chew. So far, so good... However... 30 minutes later I felt like there were no problems and maybe I should enjoy another one. Finally, before going to bed a while later, I decided that leaving one would be a sin; it might get lost or forgotten, so I ate the last one.There was no guidance, no leaflet telling me what their purpose was; after eating the first one, I perused their website and still had no real idea why they were so expensive. Until hours after eating them all, then I realized. And it was too late to do anything about it at this point.If you have ever had a colonoscopy you will have an idea of what these little nuggets can do to you, but add in a little stomach pain to the mix. Maybe it was self-induced, but maybe they should contain a warning label to not consume them all in one go.I can honestly say that the gum I ate as a child, some 40 years ago, that must have got stuck inside somewhere has now finally cleared my system. In fact, everything that was anywhere in me has now cleared my system. And I mean everything. Strangely, 30 minutes later, I think my next few meals also came out before I even ate them, because there simply couldn't have been anything left after the first ordeal. I don't think I will be repeating this experiment anytime soon, a strong lesson has been learned.Are they worth the high cost? That depends. Colonoscopy coming up soon? Take three of these; it is far easier than trying to drink a gallon of foul-tasting liquid and works far better as well. Have you been a little bound up for the last few weeks? These will solve the problem for you. Otherwise, well, I guess it is a choice only you can make. But, whatever you do, DON'T EAT THREE AT ONCE!!!!!To the manufacturer, consider some details about the product. It was lovely to read about the process of making them, the history behind them, etc. But maybe include a little guidance about their intended usage as well as some dosage pointers; not everyone would live through what I experienced; I even saw a few previous lives flash by, I think...

Works great

This was a major waste of money. Every item in this box showed up grey, moldy and hard as a rock - they were clearly expired.

I have never tried, or even heard of, cultured fermented grapefruit, but as I am always looking for a good source for probiotics I decided to give it a try. It is an easy way to get your daily dose. Each ball is small (about the size of a chocolate truffle) and easy to ingest. It does taste pleasantly of grapefruit, with a slight sweetness and slight tanginess, but not nearly as sour as the fruit in its fresh form. It also leaves a pleasant grapefruit aftertaste and "zingy" mouthfeel that tastes like fresh fruit. The texture is slightly dry and chewy, like a piece of fudge but on the dry side. The product is expensive, but so are other natural probiotics on the market. A quite interesting product if you don't mind the price.Update: I guess I misunderstood what this product was all about. I thought it was a probiotic, and while it is certainly for your gut, the effect is more like Drano on your system. I was pretty miserable for the better part of one day and didn't leave the house for fear of. . .well, you know. And that was from consuming just one piece. The product description should be more clear on what this is for. I misunderstood. Others may, too.

The Share Pomelozzini® - cultured fermented Pomelo comes in a little pouch.Per updated information on the seller's page, it is best to start with a small piece (not whole), to consume after lunch or before bedtime with 1-2 cups of warm water.The fermented fruit is a small hard ball. Even with a kitchen serrated knife, slicing a piece off takes a bit of effort.It has the odor and taste of preserved fruit, herbs, and citrus peel.When it is a thin slice/small piece, it is not that difficult to eat and chew.Since only a small piece was taken, did not experience a dramatic significant effect, but a fair good probability that taking a larger piece with water will. It is a bit expensive at the current review, however, for people that prefer more natural remedies for help in removing body waste, it presents an interesting alternative.Since it is recommended to eat in smaller pieces, wish that the seller would include resealable packaging or have the portion of the pieces already cut.

Being honest, I didn't read the fine print. This is a fermented product, and is meant to be treated as a laxative for flushing out your bowels. I found the video associated with the listing a little misleading.The product itself is a 30 month fermented pomelo fruit, but the included paper indicates its a Japanese apricot and that it is a whole fruit where you should not eat the pit. I think I got the wrong brochure.This is pomelo. I didn't enjoy eating it as is.It's not mentioned anywhere, but rather than eating outright, it might be easier to toss in it in warm (not hot) water to let the probiotics from the fermented pomelo soak to make something like a kombucha drink. Overall, good for the gut.However I think the value is crazy, and not in the best way. Currently priced at $27, you get three (3!) small pieces of pomelo. This makes 3 servings of kombucha at about 9 each. I can probably try to make a bigger batch, but I haven't tried it. You can get a big bottle of prepared kombucha for a fraction at a local supermarket.I don't know. I think if I need a flush, I'd still prefer my time tested method of taking a cheap swig of normal laxative before bed.But I get it. Different strokes for different folks.
