Fruit of Asian origin but very well adapted to our land: La Pomalaca
Hello friends of steemit, receive a warm greeting.
In my house we long for this time of year to arrive (in fact it happens several times a year), where the neighbor's tree blooms and results in a rich and juicy fruit called POMALACA with a pleasant sweet taste.
Our patio is filled with leaves that break off every time it is loaded, and there are few fruits that drip down here, hahaha. But the neighbor is very supportive and shares her harvest with us.
It is a delight to enjoy this fruit that gives us many benefits, among them, for being juicy favors the hydration of the body and for having a high content of vitamin C is very good to treat the flu and colds. My father-in-law says that it relieves him when he's sick to his stomach.
The pomalaca stands out for its high pectin content, considered by many specialists as a type of fiber. It also has vitamins (A, B3 and C), minerals (calcium and iron) and beta carotene. Each serving provides 25 calories, so its consumption is ideal for those who follow a balanced diet and low in fat. In addition, its leaves have a high content of iodine, a leading element in weight loss diets.
In the place where you live, what do you call this fruit?
