February 1 - National Grapefruit Month


Happy National Grapefruit Month! During the month of February, be sure to get your fill of the ruby reds, marsh, pomelo and oroblanco. 


These citrus fruits range from white to red and sweet to tart but add a brightness to the tongue that will make anyone perk up. And, grapefruits are extremely healthy for you.  


High in vitamins C and A, grapefruits also pack in the potassium.  They contain no cholesterol or sodium and only fifty-two calories per serving. 


This month, celebrate by eating all the grapefruit you want and enjoy this tart snack guilt-free! 


HOW TO OBSERVE 


Try one of the several varieties of grapefruit until you find one you like and use #NationalGrapefruitMonth to share on social media. 


Good news, it’s citrus season! That means it’s the best time of year to add a little grapefruit to your diet.  


Want a few more excuses? Here you go.

 

  1. 1. Grapefruit is loaded with Vitamin C, and is friendly to basically any and every diet on the planet. It’s cholesterol-free, fat-free, gluten-free, raw, vegan, full of antioxidants, and the list goes on. 

  1. 2. Its trees are packed with the fruit. One grapefruit tree can produce more than 1,500 pounds of fruit! 

  1. 3. The majority of the world’s grapefruit is grown right here in the United States, most of it in Florida.
