Just over 90% of the grapefruit's content is water, making it an excellent diuretic , it protects the heart and contains a high percentage of vitamin C.

Its flavour, very different from the rest of citrus fruits, surprises with this bitter touch as does its pulp, of an intense red colour, which indicates the amount of antioxidants it contains. In addition to its raw consumption, grapefruit is used for juices, jams and sauces as well as salads and dressings for meat and fish.
