Product Details
Organic grapefruit is a refreshing and nutritious fruit that stands out for its health benefits. Its high content of vitamins and antioxidants makes it an ideal ally to strengthen the immune system and take care of our body naturally. Here we share its main properties:
- Strengthens the immune system: Thanks to its high vitamin C content, it helps protect the body against colds and illnesses.
- Antioxidant properties: Its antioxidant compounds fight free radicals, delaying cellular aging.
- Aids digestion: Its fiber facilitates intestinal transit and contributes to good digestion.
- Natural diuretic: Helps eliminate fluids and toxins, promoting body purification.
- Regulates cholesterol: The nutrients in grapefruit can help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood.
- Promotes weight loss: Low in calories and rich in water, it is ideal for weight control diets.
Season calendar
In the Canary Islands, the organic grapefruit season runs mainly from November to May, when the fruit reaches its optimum ripeness. During these months, grapefruit offers its best flavour and maximum nutrient content, ideal for taking advantage of its health benefits. Out of season, it is less common to find local grapefruit, as production decreases.
Selection tips
Here are some tips for selecting the best grapefruits:
- Weight: Choose grapefruits that feel heavy for their size; this indicates that they are juicy and fresh.
- Colour: Look for a uniform color, preferably between yellow and pink, which indicates optimal ripeness and better flavor.
- Skin texture: Slightly smooth or slightly rough skin is normal; avoid those with soft areas or dark spots.
- AROMA: A fresh grapefruit has a pleasant, mild citrus aroma; this is a sign that it is ready to eat.
- Firmness: It should be firm to the touch, but not too hard. A little give when lightly pressed indicates juiciness.
- Avoid bumps or dents: These imperfections can affect the quality and shelf life of the fruit.
Conservation
To preserve grapefruit, store it in a cool, dry place if you plan to consume it within a few days. For a longer shelf life, keep it in the refrigerator, where it can stay fresh for up to two weeks. Avoid storing it in sealed plastic bags, as lack of ventilation can speed up spoilage.
