Grapefruits

Grapefruit belongs to the citrus family and offers a combination of both sweetness and tartness to its flavour palette. It is slightly less sweet than oranges. It is round to oval in shape with a flattened top and bottom (oblate) covered in a thick pale yellow or greenish-yellow colored skin and pinkish-red colored flesh. The inner fruit is divided into segments and offers a tender and juicy texture. It can be used to make juices, marmalade, and cakes or you can eat it by slicing it into various segments. Health Benefits Good for Digestion: Grapefruits contain dietary fibre that your body requires to get rid of bowel-related issues including constipation. Fibre is also good for the body as it helps keep you feeling fuller for longer and improves gut health. High in Antioxidants: Grapefruits are high in antioxidants such as Vitamin C and other phytonutrients which help the body combat free radicals that would otherwise lead to chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
