Organic Corsican Pomelo: A Treasure of Freshness and Benefits
If there is one fruit that evokes the mildness of the Mediterranean climate and the generosity of the Corsican land, it is the grapefruit. At Domaines de la Taste, we are proud to grow organic grapefruit, a fruit that is both juicy and refreshing, which combines gustatory pleasure and health benefits. Find out why our pomelo is a true pearl of nature and how it fits perfectly into organic, local and sustainable farming.
A sun-drenched fruit:
The pomelo we grow is of the Star Ruby variety, renowned for its red, sweet and slightly acidic flesh. This fruit is a concentrate of Corsican sunshine. Grown in our orchards in the eastern plain, it enjoys an ideal Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, which allow the pomelo to develop its unique flavors. Unlike traditional grapefruits, which are often more bitter, our Star Ruby pomelo is distinguished by a mild sweet flavor, while maintaining a refreshing touch of acidity.
The health benefits of Corsican Pomelo:
Organic grapefruit is not only delicious, but it is also a valuable ally for your health. Here are some of its many benefits:
- Rich in vitamins C and A : Pomelo is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is essential for strengthening the immune system and fighting infections. Vitamin A, on the other hand, contributes to eye and skin health.
- Antioxidants: Thanks to its flavonoids and other antioxidants, grapefruit helps fight free radicals in the body, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and contributing to better overall health.
- Hydrating and low in calories : With a high water content and low calorie density, pomelo is perfect for hydrating the body while being light and low in sugar.
- Fiber : Pomelo is also high in fiber, which promotes proper digestion and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
