Rich in Antioxidants
Pomelo is high in antioxidants, which can help prevent and counteract free radical damage to cells. Free radicals are chemicals present in nature and diet. When they accumulate in excessive amounts in your body, they can cause health concerns including chronic illness. Pomelo not only contains more than 400% of the DV for vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, but it also includes a number of additional antioxidant components.
Pomelo's principal antioxidants include naringenin and naringin, both of which are present in citrus fruits. Pomelos also contain lycopene, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that is also found in tomatoes. Pomelos' high antioxidant content is responsible for many of its health advantages, including anti-aging and heart-healthy characteristics.
