Dear friends,
it seems there is a confusion among the citrus varieties; The botanical family name is rutaceae and genus-citrus:
The so called bambloos naranga is pamelo fruit, also called as shaddock (citrus Maxima), big in size, available in the tropical and sub-tropical regions
Our odichukuthi naranga is known as persian limes, similar to grapefruit, another variety of average size, but used for curries, pickles and mermelades
Mosambi fruit average in size, is generally used in the middle east (now available in india) is widely used for making juice.
Grape fruit (citrus paradisi) is a hybrid variety, first bred in barbados ( known as the forbidden fruit)
All lime varieties have more or less the same medicinal properties...
So use at least one fruit per day, let it be any citrus variety..
all the best..

Egyprian orange is different and is very tasty too.
Grape fruit is same as "babloos naaranga" ( ബബ്ലൂസ് നാരങ്ങ ) in Kerala, especially central Kerala ! This has got a typical bitter taste unlike oranges ... In Kerala, it will be bigger with yellow or red pods inside, but the typical grape fruit we get in middle east is slightly smaller , but with red inside pods. (ചുവന്ന അല്ലികള് ) .....Both taste the same......
May all the worlds be happy. May all the beings be happy.
