Many of us like citrus - delicious fruits rich in vitamin C. These are not only the customary tangerines, lemons and oranges. There are also more rare guests on our table - grapefruit, lime, pomelo. And in the genus of citrus there are hybrids that were obtained by crossing one species with another. As an example of such a plant, you can name sweets ("sweetie", which in English means "sweet"). He was removed in 1984 by scientists from Israel. This hybrid of white grapefruit and pomelo has other names, besides sweets - pomegranate and orblanco (which translates from Spanish as "white gold"). And now let's learn about the properties of the amazing fruit of the suite.
Sweet - a mixture of grapefruit and pomelo
By creating an artificial mixture of grapefruit and pomelo, scientists have achieved that they received a fruit without bitterness, with improved taste, while retaining the beneficial properties of both species. These include a high content of vitamin C (not less than in grapefruit), and the ability to effectively reduce the level of harmful cholesterol. Also sweets with regular use stimulates the cardiovascular system and even contributes to the normalization of blood pressure. It is a delicious and natural alternative to medical products!
In addition, this hybrid exacerbates memory and attention, exerts a tonic effect on the human body, evoking interest in life during apathy and depression. Sweets are used to prevent excess weight, because it has special enzymes that actively break down fats. Thanks to this, sweets, like pomelo, can often be found in the diet menu.
The fruit is smaller in size than the pomelo, and a thicker skin of a saturated green color. Perhaps the only drawback of the suite is a lot of waste in the form of peels and partitions.
