1. Introduction to Dried Pomelo Peel
Table of Contents
Dried Pomelo Peel is derived from the thick, nutrient-rich outer layer of the Citrus maxima fruit. Traditionally valued in Asian culture for its high essential oil content and therapeutic properties, it is now a sought-after ingredient in the global functional food and natural cosmetic industries.
At Vinahugo, we offer two primary types: Soft Dried Pomelo Peel (a ready-to-eat healthy snack) and Dried Pomelo Peel Strips (for herbal infusions, essential oil extraction, and hair care). We utilize low-temperature drying to ensure the delicate flavonoids and citrus aromas are perfectly preserved.
