Did you know that pomelos are incredible for your health? Many people turn to a fruit within the same family—the grapefruit—when they’re looking for a ton of nutritional benefits. Grapefruits are great, but they’re missing out on a fruit that’s packed with even more vitamins and minerals. In addition to having more vitamins and minerals, pomelos have a sweeter flavor than the grapefruit. Here are just some of the many benefits you can get from eating pomelos.

Loaded with Antioxidants

Antioxidants help to combat the damage done to our bodies from free radicals, and pomelos are packed with them. One pomelo has more than 2 days worth of Vitamin C, which is a super powerful antioxidant.

Improves Skin Texture and Anti-Aging

Pomelos contain an important nutrient, spermidine, which can help with anti-aging. This can help your skin appear more youthful.

Regulates Blood Pressure

Pomelos are a great source of Potassium, which is known to help regulate blood pressure. Eat your pomelo at nighttime to get the most out of these benefits.

May Improve Hair Health

It’s possible that pomelos are also great for hair health. They contain so many key vitamins and minerals for healthy hair including Vitamins A and E, iron and zinc.
