Grapefruit Health

Grapefruit Health


Whether you enjoy it fresh from its golden skin or straight from a glass, there's nothing quite like the invigorating taste and healthy goodness of grapefruit.

Just half a grapefruit provides a full day's supply of vitamin C and is a good source of fiber and vitamin A. Wholesome, fiber-rich, water-filled foods like fresh grapefruit have an additional benefit-they fill you up for a longer time with fewer calories than many snacks. Fresh grapefruit also contains pectin, a soluble dietary fiber contained in the juice sac walls and white membranes, so make sure you eat these parts as well.

If you enjoy the goodness of grapefruit from a glass, you'll be glad to know that Ocean Spray® 100% Grapefruit Juices have no added sugar, are naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free for a healthy heart and just one 8 oz. glass gives you 100% of the antioxidant Vitamin C and meets half your daily fruit needs.* So go ahead and raise a glass to good health.
