Presenter: Nikki Heyder
Love them or hate them, the contradictory sweet-bitter grapefruit is packed full of nutritional benefits.
- Grapefruit come in a variety of colours, from white or yellow to pink and red, and the taste can range from sour and bitter to sweet and sugary.
- Packed with the antioxidants vitamin A and C, the grapefruit can be a real boost for your immune system, and it’s a fruit very low in calories.
- It’s high in fibre, making it very beneficial to good digestive health.
- One grapefruit contains 91% of water, making it one of the most hydrating fruits available. It’s also full of electrolytes, so it’s a great snack to have to prevent dehydration.
- You can add a wedge of grapefruit to water, segment into salad, or cut one in half, dust it in coconut sugar and pop it in the oven for an amazing healthy dessert.
