1.The rind of pomelo contains a high amount of bioflavonoid. The bioflavonoid in pomelo was discovered to even stop cancer cells from spreading in breast cancer patients by ridding the body of excess estrogen.

2.Even if the juice of pomelo has an acid taste, its juice actually has an alkaline reaction after digestion. It is therefore beneficial in the digestive system.

Buying a 1-2 kg sour pomelo back home can be frustrating because of its weight. If possible have a sample tasting before you buy. That is the experience I encountered.
