There are endless options when shopping in the grocery store produce section. It helps to make educated decisions on our fruits and veggies! Grapefruit are one of the fruits that should be eaten daily. Here are some tidbits about this super fruit:
- Eating half a grapefruit before each meal may help you lose weight; a compound in grapefruit helps regulate insulin, a fat-storage hormone
- Grapefruit is rich in dietary fiber, as well as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium
- Very low in calories
Section out grapefruit and add to salads or eat as is with a sprinkle of sugar on top!
