Jeruk Lilang (Citrus Microcarpa)

The lilang orange (Citrus microcarpa), also known as the kasturi lime, contains key phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids (primarily hesperidin, naringin and rutoside), citric acid, and essential oils rich in limonene, linalool and α-terpineol in its peel. In addition, the fruit pulp contains vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin A (beta-carotene), potassium, magnesium, calcium, pectin fibre, and several types of organic acids such as malic acid and succinic acid.

Lilang oranges or Kasturi Limes are beneficial for strengthening the immune system and combating free radicals thanks to their high vitamin C and flavonoid content. The citric acid and essential oils they contain help to aid digestion, loosen phlegm in the throat, and support skin health by promoting collagen production. Furthermore, regular consumption of this fruit can also help control cholesterol levels and blood pressure to maintain heart health.
