Grapefruit

Meet grapefruit

Grapefruit is a round-shaped fruit with the pulp formed by segments of yellow, pink or red color and with a characteristic bitter taste due to naringin. It is consumed as fresh fruit, sliced, with sugar, with honey or making the well-known grapefruit juice, to be taken as a cleanser for breakfast and in weight-loss diets. Like all citrus fruits, it is very rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium and has many digestive and diuretic properties.
