Be careful!
Do NOT use it for besomim. You are not allowed to be “mekalkel” a fruit that has kedushat shviis. You’re supposed to let it rot or eat it (entirely – including the rind) before the “zman biur”. The zman biur in E”Y is different than the zman biur in the US. I belive that you would need to eat it prior to Tu B’Shvat, which I believe is past the Zman Biur.
In any event, as our fellow members have suggested, this is a very complicated issue and you should follow the strict psak of your Rav. Please don’t delay asking him. Time may be of essence.
