16 Mouthwatering Facts About Chompoo (Pink Apple)
by Editorial Staff
Chompoo or shompoo is the fruit of the rose tree of the Myrtle family. The fruit also has other names - rose apple and Malabar plum, but at the same time it is completely different from them, but more like a rumpled pear.
Facts About Chompoo
- It is believed that chompoo originated in Malaysia and East India. It is also known that they began to grow a very long time ago, a couple of hundred years ago, in such remote continents as the Pacific Islands, Sri Lanka, and Indochina.
- The bush on which the fruits grow is also different from the fruit counterparts, plum and apple trees. This tall growth reaches 12 m in height, has a voluminous crown with narrow lanceolate, shiny, as if varnished, leaves.
- The fruit is elongated, pear-shaped, the pulp is light, airy as if whipped, melts in the "mouth". The taste is sweet, sour, refreshing. If you bite off a piece from ripe fruit, you hear a crunch, as if air bubbles are bursting.
- When chilled, its pulp is an excellent thirst quencher. There are also white, green, and red colors, usually the lighter, the sweeter. The season is from April to June.
- Chompoo is considered one of the favorite fruits of children. It does not need to be cleaned, it has no pits.
- The pulp smells like a rose. The skin of ripe fruit is a very thin, white or pale yellow, covered with a pinkish waxy coating.
- Raw chompoo contains only 25 kcal. This is a dietary product that can be consumed by everyone, including overweight people, as well as those who are watching their figure.
- The composition of a pink apple is in many ways similar to an ordinary apple that we are used to encountering in everyday life. It should be noted, first of all, its saturation with useful substances and microelements, such as iron, organic acids, mono, and disaccharides. Like any fruit, chompoo is loaded with carbohydrates (13 grams), proteins (0.4 grams), and fats (0.4 grams), and of course, it has about 86 grams of water. Also, chompoo contains useful glucose, which is not stored in the form of fatty accumulations, but rather helps to cleanse the stomach of harmful substances.
- This fruit is widely used in folk medicine, especially in the countries where it is grown. This applies not only to the ripe fruits of this tree but also to other components such as the bark, root, or leaves of the rose apple. For example, a decoction of the bark is used by folk healers as a tonic, especially for indigestion. The root is used in the preparation of a diuretic. Juice from its leaves is a great, nourishing facial lotion with anti-aging effects.
- If you are fortunate enough to visit, for example, Thai cuisine, be sure to try Chompa dishes, especially those cooked with rice and meat, with tomato sauce. These dishes are considered useful for cleansing the body of harmful toxins, after which there is a complete recovery of our body.
- Ripe apple fruits are eaten raw or used to prepare exotic dishes. Chompoo is often served with fried sugar and hot peppers in eastern countries.
- The shelf life of a pink apple is short. This is one or two days in the refrigerator. Therefore, you don't need to buy a lot of these fruits. They must be purchased to be consumed in a short period.
- Very often, having tasted new tastes, they abuse the products they like. Relative contraindications for use are diabetes mellitus and severe hypotension. The rest of the contraindications to the pink apple chompoo are overeating and individual intolerance.
- The unripe fruit has a very original taste - it looks like a hybrid of green bell pepper and semerynko.
- If the fruit did not have time to eat, you can dry it in the sun and make a rattle. The seeds will make a ringing sound, and if such a toy is chewed a little, there will be no harm.
- In terms of the number of sugars, one ripe chompoo corresponds to a standard milk chocolate bar. But such a replacement is much more useful - there are no trans fats in the fruit and there is useful fiber, albeit very little.
