How much does red-fleshed honey pomelo cost per jin? What are its benefits and effects?
Red-fleshed honey pomelo, also called red-hearted pomelo, is a superior pomelo variety discovered in Fujian Province in 1998. It was later gradually bred by the Fruit Research Institute of the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The appearance of the red-fleshed honey pomelo is no different from that of the white-fleshed honey pomelo. The main difference is that after peeling the pomelo, the flesh is red or light pink. Here we will introduce the price of red-fleshed honey pomelo as well as its benefits and effects.
1. The price of red-fleshed honey pomelo
The market price of red-hearted pomelo is still determined by its quality and size. Red-hearted pomelo from different regions also differs greatly in price. Nowadays, in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, the price of pomelo at the source is about 2-5 yuan per jin. In other regions, considering costs such as shipping and labor, the price of pomelo may rise to about 10 yuan per jin. The specific price still depends on the local market price. In addition, the yield and climate of pomelo also have a great impact on its price.
Compared with ordinary white pomelo, red pomelo tastes sweeter than white pomelo. White pomelo is very rich in water, with a stronger sweet taste and a milder sour taste, making it more suitable for people who prefer sour fruits. Red-hearted pomelo, however, has a balanced sweet-and-sour taste, making it more suitable for people who prefer sweet fruits. In addition, red pomelo is richer in nutrients than white pomelo. Its flesh contains two extra nutritional elements: one is β-carotene, and the other is lycopene. Therefore, it is understandable that red pomelo is more expensive than white pomelo on the market.
2. The benefits and effects of red-fleshed honey pomelo
Pomelo contains very rich nutritional value. It contains a large amount of nutritional elements, including protein and organic acids needed by the body. It also contains a variety of vitamins and trace elements essential to the body such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium. The natural pigments contained in red-fleshed honey pomelo have a certain health-promoting effect on the human body. Most trace elements such as flavonoid pigments have the function of vitamin P. β-carotene and lycopene among carotenoids can also resist oxidation and help remove free radicals from the human body.
Although red pomelo has high nutritional value, several kinds of people are also not suitable for eating pomelo. The first kind is people with a weak and cold constitution, because pomelo is cold in nature. If people with a weak and cold constitution eat too much, coldness in the body will accumulate day by day, and the body will become weaker and weaker. The second kind is people who are taking blood pressure medication, because the components in pomelo will affect the normal metabolism of blood pressure medication in the human body, leading to poorer efficacy, causing abnormal blood pressure, and instead being harmful to health.
The above is some knowledge about pomelo. Although pomelo is delicious, you still need to eat it according to your own actual situation. Do not crave a momentary pleasure for your tongue and end up losing more than you gain. However, as long as you do not eat too much in daily life, there is basically no problem.
