Pomelo is a popular citrus fruit in many South-East Asian countries including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and China. In India, it is known by several local names in the vernacular, such as “Chakotra” in Hindi, “Pamparapanasa” and in Telugu, “Bambilimaas”.
Pomelo fruits are quite large in size, with a hard outer green, yellow or orange peel that encompasses a soft, fleshy interior pulp. This inner portion has a pleasantly sweet taste, with a hint of tangy essence and is hence used in the preparation of soups, salads, noodles, juices, smoothies, milkshakes and puddings. Moreover, pomelo is also frequently added to cocktails and mocktails, to infuse a burst of zesty, fruity flavour. Besides its appealing taste and extensive culinary use, pomelo also possesses a treasure trove of beneficial nutrients. It abounds in vitamin C, for uplifted immunity, in addition to B vitamins for regulated metabolism. Pomelo is a storehouse of valuable carotenoid, flavonoid and other phenolic antioxidants, which vastly improve skin health. Comprising significant levels of minerals - calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, pomelo supplies strength and nourishment to bones, tissues and muscles in the body. Being low on calories, while high on proteins and fibers, it is a wholesome food to incorporate in weight loss diets.
This big-sized citrus fruit native to tropical and sub-tropical environments is indeed a wonderful gift from Mother Nature, that confers remarkable wellness incentives and guarantees optimal overall well-being.
