Suha or Pomelo Health Benefits:

Boosts Immune System

Consuming just half a large-sized pomelo fruit will satisfy the daily vitamin C requirement in healthy adults. Vitamin C not only functions in enhancing iron absorption for enhanced blood circulation, but also works to improve immunity by white blood cells in the system. In addition, vitamin C is obligatory for growth and development of all body tissues and a key antioxidant for removing toxins from the system.

Treats Constipation

Pomelo comprises valuable dietary fibers which ensure proper bowel movement upon ingestion of heavy meals. This is crucial to regulate kidney function and filter out all the toxic waste products upon digestion of food and assimilation of required nutrients. It also efficiently relieves intestinal conditions like constipation and indigestion.

Fortifies Bones

The calcium present in pomelo fruit is absorbed by bones in the body, thereby aiding in the maintenance of optimal bone density for day-to-day functions and flexible, unobstructed movement. The very high potassium content in pomelo complements bone health by enhancing mineral uptake by cells and tissues in the body.

Fosters Healthy Eyesight

Pomelo contains noteworthy amounts of vitamin A, which is vital for protecting the eyes from damage and vision-linked disorders in old age, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The pulp of this citrus fruit also possesses vast quantities of the carotenoid antioxidants – lutein and beta-carotene, which thwart harmful free radicals from oxidizing healthy optic cells, tissues, to promote clear vision and enhance eye health.

Pomelo is a popular ingredient in various standard dishes in Asian cuisine such as salads, soups, noodles, fried rice and desserts such as cakes and pudding. Pomelo juice is a refreshing drink that assists in cooling down the body and it is also commonly infused into many cocktails to add an exclusive flavor. In addition, the tough exterior peel of pomelo fruit, although not consumed raw, is used in making marmalades and jams.
