Pro tip: the next time you start getting a cold, get a pomelo or two, and continously snack on it while you sit at home being miserable.
It’s a great way to get both water and easily-digested energy into your body, which is otherwise difficult because water tastes like shit and the digestive system tends to be put into standby mode while the body routes all power to defense systems.
In my experience it makes me feel at least 10% better. Combine it with pain meds and nose spray and a cold is almost bearable.One of the three cardinal citrus fruits from which all others have been derived
Jabong bong when
Pardon me, but that is MY Jabong. I know it’s mine because it’s green. The man who sold it to me said it was a one of a kind because it’s green. Please kindly return it to me by placing it on my front porch.
is this just a pomelo with a different name?
Where are you from that called it jabong? It has many name but jabong is the first time i heard it being called. Here we call it limau bali(malay) or 柚子(chinese). It’s very tasty fruit.
Hawaii. It’s definitely a local word because I too had not called the jabong before.
This the tree it came from:

Interesting, thanks for sharing
So good! And the smell is fantastic.
I’m always amused that the fruit itself is like a third smaller than the rind lol. But then you grab one sliver of the fruit and it looks like a mandarin orange slice that was hit by Wayne Szalinski’s laser and blown up huge.
It’s giiiiiiiiiaaaaannnnnt fruuuuuuuiiiitttt! Na ba nana nana na na da nana!
On tonight’s episode, ugli comes for a visit, brings his drunk girlfriend to twerk on the counter!
My Jabong is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Jabong is useless. Without my Jabong I am useless.
Looks like a zested watermelon 😃
it’s magnificent
About jabong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomelo
I know them as Som O (ส้มโอ) from Thailand. Where are they called jabong?
What variety is it?
I’m Hawaii based, but it’s the local word for them. However, I’m totally uncertain as to it’s origin or why local kine use that word. They’re extremely sweet but very seedy.
It’s jamong (자몽) in Korean, maybe that name came from east asia?
