Pomelo Shrimp Salad

Plate with Pomelo shrimp salad good for body detox

This salad is rather special and always surprises me how wonderful it tastes. I really enjoy Thai food, it is fresh with a layer of subtle tastes. Pomelo is a large citrus fruit, which looks like a grapefruit but larger. I love using it in winter as side dish due to it’s benefits.

Pomelo is a citrus fruit that has a surprising number of health benefits for people who are willing to do a bit of searching for it. These impressive health benefits of pomelo include its ability to boost the immune system, improve digestion, lower blood pressure, reduce cramping, prevent anemia, improve bone strength, reduce signs of premature aging, prevent cancer, protect heart health, aid in weight loss, and boost oral and dental health.
