Pomelo

Pomelo is considered a citrus fruit and it is closely related to grapefruits, and is primarily found in Southeast Asia, which is its native region. Pomelos take eight years to grow before the seeds can begin to flower and bear any fruit. Pomelos are particularly rich in vitamin C and potassium. They are also a good source of iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium. It holds some important vitamins such as niacin, and low quantities of thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin B-6 too. All of these nutrients make pomelos a healthy fruit.
