Pink Grapefruit Description:

Pink grapefruit is a citrus hybrid of and orange. It owes its distinctly citrussy flavour to a molecule called grapefruit mercaptan. Naturally scented sweet yet slightly herbal with woody, almost musky notes. Some people swear that pink-coloured grapefruit are the best-tasting grapefruits with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The flesh is typically very juicy and not sour. If you are looking to lose weight, you may want to eat a pink grapefruit for breakfast But while grapefruit is both low in calories and filling, there’s much more to it than that. According to ESHA Research, just half a serving has 100mg of vitamin C, which benefits the immune system. They are also high in vitamin A, rich in antioxidants, and is a good source of other minerals.

Health Benefits:

Pink and red grapefruit are good sources of beta carotene (a source of vitamin A) and lycopene, an antioxidant “cousin” to beta carotene that has been linked to lower stroke risk. One cup of red or pink grapefruit sections has as much lycopene as a medium 4-ounce tomato. That’s all good.

Is grapefruit a superfood?

Nutrition. There’s a reason grapefruit is sometimes referred to as a superfood. In addition to its other health benefits, a serving of grapefruit is packed with vitamins and minerals.
