Transported from Ipoh, Malaysia, Tambun Ipoh pomelo has been the best-selling fruit, especially during pomelo season. This fruit is usually associated with grapefruit due to its similar shape and flesh. Other than a significant difference in size, they differ because this much bigger fruit is well-loved for its juicier pulp. The hint of bitterness is also milder in pomelo than in grapefruit.
It is known that those that are grown in Tambun Valley, about 10 minutes east of Ipoh would have the best taste. The key reason is that these farms are surrounded by the limestone hills which are rich in calcium, the mineral required for pomelo trees to thrive. According to Malaysia Vacation Guide, Tambun Ipoh Pomelo is reputed as one of the best in the world.
Not only is it the most juicy, sweetest, and biggest pomelo you can find, it is a great source of the following minerals:
- Potassium
- Folic acid
- Phosphorus
- Calcium
- Sodium
