<p>Believed to be native to Southeast Asia, jambu air can be commonly found in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. </p>
<p>However, the fruit has been cultivated in various other tropical parts of the world. </p>
<p>Jambu air is a good source of fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C. Another fun fact is that it&#8217;s low in calories because it&#8217;s <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://specialtyproduce.com/produce/Green_Water_Apples_12137.php">made up</a> of 91.6% water!</p>

<p>Although the fruit&#8217;s name often includes the word &#8216;apple,&#8217; its taste is far from that of a traditional apple. But it does release an aromatic, floral scent said to smell like rose&nbsp;water.</p>
