Hallabong calories are about 48 kcal per 100g, which is one of the lowest among fruits and rich in dietary fiber, making it a diet food.
Recently, in line with the K-food craze, the food and beverage industry has also developed a variety of menus such as not only drinks but also sauces and put them out as products.
Hallabong is rich in vitamin C, helping to increase immunity, and citric acid inhibits lactic acid production in energy metabolism, which is good for relieving fatigue and stress. It also contains vitamin A, which helps with eye health such as dry eyes, night blindness, and cataract prevention.
In particular, hallabong, a representative example of 'yellowfood', contains a pigment called carotenoid, which is an antioxidant and has an anti-aging effect. The skin is also rich in nutrients, so it is recommended to eat it with pulp.
Limonene on the outer shell helps calm down and anticancer effects. Hesperidine (vitamin P), a flavonoid component contained in the inner shell, is effective in reducing cholesterol levels and preventing arteriosclerosis and stroke by suppressing fat accumulation in blood vessels.
When eating the skin, it is recommended to scrub it with salt to remove pesticide components. It is also possible to dry the skin and boil it in tea. Hallabong Jinpicha, which is made using the shell of Hallabong, is also well known as a health tea.
