While grapefruit of any color is a healthy addition to your diet, if you opt for pink or red grapefruit over white then you will consume a significant amount more vitamin A – about 26 times more! Vitamin A is essential to vision, immune function and cell growth. In addition, red and pink grapefruit contain lycopene, which has anti-tumor properties.

Personally, I love pink grapefruit and always choose it over white. What about you? I also keep pink grapefruit juice in the house instead of orange juice because I find it to be more refreshing and I also like that it has 7 grams less sugar per serving.

/ June 12, 2012How interesting, Annie! I had no idea! I actually prefer pink but I don’t eat it very often. Looks like I need to incorporate more of it into my diet :)
Hope you’re having a great week! xoxo

/ June 15, 2012Hi! I like oranges, it has to be the fruit. I don’t know but I never liked grapefruit. I guess I should try again and see if this time I like them.
Happy weekend.
