Red pomelo is produced in Fujian.

1. The red-fleshed pomelo is from the Fruit Tree Research Institute of the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In 1998, an excellent mutant single with red fruit juice cells was found in Lin Jinshan_Ximi pomelo garden in Cuoqiu Village, Xiaoxi Town, Pinghe County. In 1999, the scions were picked from the mother tree for high-inoculation and transplantation, and the asexual progeny seedlings were grafted and planted to establish an experimental garden

2. This was confirmed by morphological, palynological, molecular and other studies. The red-fleshed honey pomelo is derived from the bud mutation of Ximi pomelo, and after many years and multiple generations of regional test observations, it has shown that it has high yield and high quality, early maturity, and the genetic stability of excellent mutant traits such as red juice cells. In February 2006, it was recognized by the Fujian Provincial Non-Major Crop Variety Recognition Committee, and on March 1, 2007, it was granted variety rights protection by the Ministry of Agriculture.

3. The saplings of red-fleshed pomelo are relatively upright, and the adult trees are half-open, with a semi-circular crown.

The fruit shape is obovate.

Extended information

Spring is the early stage for red-fleshed pomelo to develop roots, long spring shoots, long flower spikes, flowering, and young fruits. During this period, such as diseases and insect pests, lack of fertilizer, Drought has a direct impact on the strong shoots, strong flowers and fruit setting rate of pomelo trees, and is a key period to increase the annual yield. Various spring management technical measures must be taken in a timely manner to promote strong shoots and flowers, increase fruit setting rate, and achieve a bumper harvest.

Preventing and controlling pomelo tree diseases and insect pests is an important measure to ensure an increase in honey pomelo production. In spring, young shoots, young flower buds and flower spikes are most susceptible to diseases and insect pests. Reasonable fertilization and scientific management can promote the health of grapefruit trees and make it less likely for pests and diseases to invade and infect. If effective management measures are not taken during the spring shoot period, the harvest will be reduced that year. February to March is the overwintering period for spider mites, so timely prevention and treatment is required.

The natural pigments contained in red-fleshed pomelo have certain health-care effects on the human body. Most of the trace elements such as flavonoid pigments have the function of vitamin P. β-carotene and tomato red among carotenoids Vitamins are also antioxidants and help eliminate free radicals in the body.

Patients with high blood pressure often use medications to eliminate excess sodium from the body. Pomelo contains potassium, a natural mineral necessary for these patients, but almost no sodium. Therefore, it is the best therapeutic fruit for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and kidney diseases.

Consumed regularly, it has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on diseases such as hypertension (blood pressure food), diabetes (diabetic food), vascular sclerosis, etc., and has the function of keeping healthy and beautiful for obese people. In addition, grapefruit contains the physiologically active substance dermaside, which can reduce blood viscosity and reduce the formation of thrombus, so it also has a preventive effect on cerebrovascular diseases.

Pomelo is cold in nature, so people with weak and cold bodies should not eat more.
