Glorious Grapefruit
Grapefruit is an abundant winter fruit in Florida and whether grilled, baked, juiced or eaten raw, it adds a tangy zest to any meal.
Grapefruit is a great source of antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium and fiber. Varieties include pink, gold, white and red grapefruit, though the red ones are the sweetest. When choosing your grapefruit at the store, select those that are heavy for their size and have glossy, smooth skin. You can eat grapefruit raw, baked or broiled, but cooking them will reduce their nutritional properties. Add raw grapefruit to dark green salads, fish and chicken dishes, or even your favorite salsa to pack some unexpected flavor! Want more citrus in your life? Try these recipes.
