Ranging in color from red to white to pink, the Grapefruit was clandestine to be one February’s most color appropriate fruits. Growing in clusters, similar to grapes (in which they get their name), the semi tart yet sweet and tangy flavor is the perfect fruit for awaking the taste buds after a long winters sleep. While many people simply enjoy the flavors of this unique cousin to the orange and lemon in the morning with little more than a splash of brown sugar, (which by the way is fantastic), the range of the grapefruit is much more than that. It can be used to make anything from a refreshing Grapefruit Soda, to an extravagant Sorbet. However, this citrusy knockout doesn’t stop there; the grapefruit is known to contain pectin, a fiber that has been proven to lower cholesterol, and also has one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants. So not only can you stave off kidney stones due to an unusually high PH value but you can also lower your cholesterol and boost your immune system! I’m waiting for the day they start putting this stuff in a pill and sell it to the big pharmaceutical companies for millions!
