Grapefruits are part of the tropical citrus fruit family, which share the same high vitamin C content of related foods like oranges.

Pairing high-vitamin C foods with plant-based foods like oatmeal, beans and seeds enhances iron absorption.

Grapefruit has a low glycemic index and relatively minimal effect on blood sugar levels.

Grapefruits contain significant amounts of Vitamin A, fibre, potassium and magnesium.

Grapefruit's unique combination of nutrients and fibre makes it ideal for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
