Pomelo is a large Asian citrus fruit that’s closely related to grapefruit. Pomelos are grown commercially in Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia, China, Mexico, and regions of Southern California and Florida. Native to Asia, it’s one of the original non-hybrid citrus fruits used to cultivate the most commercially available varieties.

It contains several vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that make it a healthy addition to your diet. One fruit packs several days’ worth of vitamin C, a powerful immune-boosting antioxidant that helps prevent cellular damage from harmful compounds called free radicals. Pomelo is also rich in other vitamins and minerals, including potassium, which helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure. Furthermore, pomelo contains several other vitamins and minerals in smaller amounts.
