Hampir semua orang kenal buah limau bali. Isi buahnya yang segar dan banyak mengandungi air, boleh terus dimakan setelah dikupas atau sebagai campuran salad maupun rojak. Buah limau bali [bahasa Inggeris: Pomelo) bermanfaat bagi kesihatan. Kandungan pektinnya lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan limau jenis lain. Pektin inilah yang dipercayai mampu menurunkan kolesterol sekaligus mengurangi risiko sakit jantung.

Khasiat dan Manfaat
Buahnya yang berwarna putih (ada yang merah) dapat dijadikan manisan setelah dibuang bahagian kulit luarnya yang banyak mengandung kelenjar minyak. Di Vietnam, bunganya yang harum digunakan untuk membuat minyak wangi ( perfume ). Bukan hanya itu, kayunya juga sering dimanfaatkan untuk membuat perkakas alat dapur.

Buah limau bali amat bermanfaat menurunkan kolesterol dan melawan penyakit jantung.Selain itu, limau bali juga baik untuk kesihatan gusi kerana kadar vitamin C-nya tinggi. Hal ini dibuktikankan oleh pengkaji di Universiti Friedrich Schiller, Jerman, yang menemukan kaitan kesihatan gusi pada mereka yang banyak makan buah limau bali.

Penelitian melibatkan 58 responden yang mengalami kerosakan gusi yang cukup parah. Kenyataannya, limau bali membawa kesan positif setelah dimakan setiap hari selama dua minggu. Bahkan, kesan positif itu juga berlaku bagi perokok maupun bukan perokok. Seperti diketahui merokok adalah salah satu penyebab utama kerusakan gusi.

Manfaat lain limau bali, ianya mampu membersihkan sel darah merah yang telah tua di dalam tubuh dan menormalkan hematokrit (percentage sel darah per volume darah). Sekaligus sebagai sumber antioksidan bagi penyakit kanser.

Selain dimakan buahnya, limau bali sering diolah dalam bentuk jus. Semasa membuat jus, korang boleh mencampur limau bali dengan bahan atau buah lainnya, sehingga rasanya jadi lebih nikmat.

Sumber vitamin C dan menurunkan kolesterol
Makan dua “ruang” (ruang dalam buah) limau bali ukuran sedang setiap hari untuk mendapatkan manfaatnya secara maksima.

Minuman antioksidan dan antikanser
Ambil satu biji limau bali ukuran sedang yang telah dikupas dan dibuang isinya. Masukkan ke dalam blender, tambahkan air secukupnya. Boleh juga ditambahkan satu sudu teh madu dan buah lainnya seperti mangga atau pir.

Cara lain, ambil satu biji limau bali ukuran sedang yang telah dikupas dan dibuang isinya, dan 1 cm halia yang telah dibuang kulitnya. Masukkan seluruh bahan tersebut ke blender dengan ditambah sedikit air.

Manisan
Potong-potong bahagian kulit limau bali (kulit luarnya dibuang) berbentuk kiub, rebus dengan api kecil selama 60 minit. Buang air rebusannya, tapiskannya, lalu ditimbang. Siapkan gula pasir sama beratnya dengan berat kulit limau yang telah direbus.

Masukkan kulit limau bali yang telah direbus dalam periuk, tambah air hingga terendam seluruhnya, tambahkan gula pasir. Rebus di atas api kecil sambil sesekali dikacau sampai menjadi sirap pekat. Angkat, biarkan kulit limau tetap terendam dalam sirap semalaman.
Esoknya, masak lagi di atas api kecil hingga sirap gula hampir habis. Keluarkan kulit limau dari sirap, hamparkan di atas nyiru, jemur hingga setengah kering. Potong-potong kecil panjang, masukkan ke dalam bekas tertutup. Agar tahan lama (1 bulan), simpan di dalam almari.

Selain dimakan begitu sahaja, manisan kulit, limau bali boleh dicampurkan ke dalam adunan kek, terutama untuk menggantikan manisan yang lain atau kulit limau purut. Manisan kulit limau yang dicampur manisan kering buah-buahan akan memperkaya cita rasa fruitcake.

Perokok juga dianjurkan untuk makan buah limau bali dua “ruang” (ruang dalam buah) setiap hari. Peningkatan kadar vitamin C di dalam darah mampu memperbaiki jaringan yang rosak, bahkan kanser, disebabkan ketidakstabilnya molekul radikal bebas kerana rokok dan polusi udara.

It combats wrinkles and skin ageing and makes the skin appear youthful, fair and soft. It not only removes free radicals that harm the skin, but also assists the body to boost the production of collagen.

Pomelo: 10 Reasons to Enjoy this Fabulous Fruit

Pomelos come in many varieties. The texture, taste, and seediness of each variety is different.


More sweet than sour, with juicy meat and pulp, pomelos are grandfathers to grapefruits. This gentle giant of the citrus family is native to Malaysia and Southeast Asia, but has been introduced to many tropical countries as well as California, Florida and Hawaii of the United States. Also called pulmetto, shaddock, French chadec, Malayan limau besar, Bali lemon, and Chinese grapefruit - I discovered the fruit when a client shared her tree's bounty. The delicious pomelo can enhance a healthy diet. Here are ten reasons why.

1. Taste
Sweet with just a hint of grapefruit-like tang, pomelos are refreshing first thing in the morning or cold from the refrigerator, as a fortifying snack. Its juice can be a tasty addition to sauces, salads, salsas and marinades. The curious mixture of melon-like sweetness with citrus tang makes pomelo juice a welcome addition to many recipes - add a skinless, seedless wedge to flavor your favorite ice tea.

2. Low Calorie and Low Fat
Pomelos have 0% fat and 72 calories per cup/190 grams - a dieter's delight! Most everyone has heard of the Grapefruit Diet, which become popular in Hollywood in the 1930s, and saw another resurgence in the 1970s. Both grapefruit and pomelo contain a fat burning enzyme, which theoretically increases the dieter's success. This fad diet, promoted extremely low calorie intake, and eating grapefruit before every meal.

3. Fiber
While due to its low calorie intake, the Grapefruit Diet is unhealthy, the principle behind eating grapefruits is a sound one. Pomelos, like grapefruits have a fiber content of 8% daily value or DV. The Food and Drug Administration describes DV as percentage of the recommended daily intake for nutrients for adults and children ages 4 and up. Eating such low calorie fiber creates a full feeling in your stomach and you eat less. Eating fiber also keeps your bowels healthy and prevents colon cancer.

4. Vitamin C
Citrus fruit burgeon with vitamin C, and the pomelo is no exception. Pomelo provides 193% DV of Vitamin C. Recent studies have shown Vitamin C strengthens your immune system when it weakens due to stress. And although Vitamin C can not cure the common cold, it can prevent you from developing additional cold complications such as lung infections or pneumonia. Persons with a higher concentration of vitamin C in their blood have a 42% lower risk of developing a stroke. Vitamin C has been shown to aid in macular degeneration, inflamation, cancer and cardiovascular deterioration.

5. Heart Health
Pomelos have 410 mg of potassium per serving, which like Vitamin C plays a role in supporting the heart. There is no DV for potassium but 4700 mg per day is considered adequate. This essential mineral regulates blood pressure levels. Abundant with pectin, pomelo juice is capable of clearing the arterial deposits accumulated in the body, thereby reducing the impurities and benefitting people with hypertension. People on blood thinning, kidney and other medications need to use caution when eating potassium rich foods like pomelos, as it can have a negative impact and serous health complications.

6. Cancer Fighter
The Chinese use the pomelo rind in many dishes. The skin of the fruit is very rich in bioflavonoids. This property is helpful in reducing pancreatic, intestinal and breast cancer. In fact, it stops cancerous cells from spreading further. Pomelo rind contains rich bioflavonoids that help in fighting against cancer cells. It prevents the spread of breast cancer cells especially by enabling the body to eliminate excess estrogen.


7. Antioxidents
Most notable, pomelos are loaded with antioxidants that are believed to help slow down the aging process and protect against some diseases - including heart disease and cancer - as they help rid the body of free radicals.

8. Anti-aging
Grapefruits and likely pomelos are the only known fruits containing spermadine, which is also found in human sperm. A laboratory-based study found spermidine to protect cells from processes related to aging and cell damage. In the study spermadine increased the lifespan of flies, blood cells, yeast and worms. Spermadine introduced to the blood cells of white mice protected them from particular types of cell damage, but their lifespans were not reported. (See the link below for more information on this study.)

9. Medicine
When chewed slowly, the pomelo is said to cure hangovers. In Malasia and Filipines, a lotion made from the pomelo plants leaves is used to alleviate sores and swellings. The Filipinos also use it as a sedative for nerves. The Chinese use the entire plant to make medications that cure coughs, car sickness and indigestion. A paste of pomelo rind and ginger can be applied to joints to ease arthritic pain.1

!0. Availability and Storage
Pomelos are available at most Asian or Latin American markets throughout the year. Choose firm, heavy fruits. Blemishes on the skin are okay. Soft, dull-skinned pomelos that leave an imprint when squeezed or those that appear dried-out on the stem should be avoided.Pomelos keep for a week in the refrigerator, or for a few days left at room temperature. Freeze their juice in ice cube trays to keep for longer periods and to add a citrus zest to recipes.
