One of the healthiest pieces of exotic tropical fruit you could eat is the pomelo. It is also known as Chinese grapefruits. It is packed full of potent nutrients that help protect the body from several health conditions such as digestive issues, cancers, fatigue, heart disease, high fevers and insomnia.

The fruit has a greenish thick skin and a reddish pink fleshy pulp inside similar to a grapefruit. Sometimes the flesh can be yellow or white as well. You can find the fruit growing on citrus trees in the heat of summer or in tropical climates. Pomelo fruits can weigh up to 20 pounds or more depending on how long they grow. When you go to eat a pomelo, you will notice it is sweet like an orange, tart like a grapefruit, tangy like a tangerine, and very juicy.
