Pomelo is a citrus tree belonging to Citrinae of Rutaceae, also known as pomelo, Wendan, Fragrant Bulbou, Bamboo Bulbou and Nelumbo. According to research, grapefruit has been cultivated in China for more than 3000 years. Pomelo is rich in water (100g pulp contains about 89g of water), and the climate in autumn and winter is relatively dry. Regular consumption of grapefruit is beneficial to the body to replenish water.
Extended data:
Grapefruit is a big family with many varieties and red or white flesh. The biggest difference between red pomelo and white pomelo is that they contain different pigments. Generally speaking, citrus fruits with red flesh have two kinds of coloring pigments: one is water-soluble anthocyanin; The other is fat-soluble carotenoids, such as lycopene and β-carotene. Red grapefruit contains lycopene.
Lycopene is an antioxidant, but there is not enough evidence to prove that red pomelo has special effects. From the component analysis, there will be some differences in nutritional components between different pomelos, such as some pomelos with more vitamin C and some pomelos with more sugar, but this is not directly related to the color of pomelos, but mainly related to varieties. So overall, there is no significant difference in nutritional value between red pomelo and white pomelo.
