Grapefruit: refreshing from morning to night
Complete package for health fans
Grapefruit, which is not to be confused with grapefruit, deserves a place of honour on the hit list of healthy fruits. The reason: it is very low in calories, but provides plenty of vitamin C, fibre and phytochemicals. With its light yellow to ruby-red flesh and slightly bitter, refreshing flavour, it is the highlight of any dish.
Suitable for every situation
Lovers of the golden yellow fruit can enjoy grapefruit as a juice, sliced in muesli, as a fruit dessert or simply eaten on its own. Tip: How about a tangy vinaigrette made from grapefruit, olive oil, honey and pepper as a fine salad topping?
Bittersweet - herbal support for (almost) everyone
- Grapefruit contains the phytochemical naringenin, which gives it its bitter flavour. Among other things, it is associated with a cholesterol-lowering effect. However, naringenin can have undesirable interactions with various medications, such as blood pressure or asthma medication. Grapefruit should therefore only be consumed after consulting a doctor.
- You can get fresh grapefruit from us from May to October. If you want to stock up on vitamins, the juicy treats can easily be stored for a few weeks.
