Bell Fruit · Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston · Myrtaceae
A fruit that feels like morning air.
Break open a box of Jesko Rose Apples and you’ll notice the quiet beauty:
thin, rose-tinted skin catching the light, crisp flesh that bursts with cool juice,
and a subtle floral note, a fragrance gentle enough to be natural, but distinct enough to remember.
We harvest at peak maturity, cool fast, and pack under clean, temperature-controlled conditions.
This preserves texture, hydration, and aroma from orchard to arrival.

Origins & Growing Conditions
Jesko sources Rose Apple from Southern Vietnam, where warm humidity, river-fed soils, and consistent rainfall support the development of:
• Clear, bright skin tone
• Firm, crisp bite
• Balanced natural sweetness
• The signature rose-like aromatic profile
These environmental conditions are an essential part of the fruit’s identity.
Botanical & Sensory Characteristics
Characteristic | Description |
Appearance | Smooth skin, pale rose to light red |
Texture | Crisp, juicy, hydrating mouthfeel |
Aroma | Light floral notes from natural volatile compounds |
Core Structure | Naturally hollow, contributing to refreshing bite |
The floral aroma is linked to linalool, geraniol, and β-phenylethyl alcohol, compounds also found in high-grade flower essential oils [1].
Nutritional Composition (per 100g edible portion)
(Based on peer-reviewed composition data, aligned to USDA fruit nutrient standards.)
Component | Value | Reference |
Water | 84.0–93.0 g | [1] |
Energy | ~25 kcal | [1] |
Carbohydrates | ~5.7 g | [1] |
Protein | 0.6 g | [1] |
Vitamin C | 22.3 mg | [1] |
Potassium | 123 mg | [1] |
Calcium | 29 mg | [1] |
Niacin (B3) | 0.8 mg | [1] |
This profile aligns with USDA classification of hydration-forward, low-calorie tropical fruits.[4]

Bioactive Compounds
Rose Apple contains:
• Flavonoids & phenolic acids
• Triterpenoids
• Tannins
• 80+ volatile aromatic compounds contributing to its floral scent [1]
2024 metabolomics research identifies compound classes associated with antioxidant and glycemic-modulating potential[3].
