About Healthy #2: The Pleasure of Pomelo

Though the Pomelo is grown in different countries in the modern world, it originated from South East Asia. For the tree itself, its ideal weather are found in tropical countries where temperature ranges from 77 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 30 degrees Celsius) and the fruit is a lot sweeter than a grapefruit without the sour tart. It's one of Thailand's main citrus super-fruits that's sold by street vendors, eaten as snacks and is known as a superior immune booster in the Thai medicinal world.

Many people confuse pomelos with grapefruits which technically isn't correct because the grapefruit is a man-made hybrid from a pomelo and a sweet orange. The pomelo is actually the grapefruit's father in terms of human hybrid fruit breeding. Depending on the country, the spelling and the names may vary such as shaddock, pumelo or pamplemousse. Though the pomelo is on the top of the citrus fruit chain, the western world especially U.S. Americans, have absolutely no idea of its existence. If you ever run across this in a fresh fruit market, don't hesitate to indulge in this delicious super fruit and taste the pleasure. Or should we say, delicious super father fruit.
