Of all the fruit juices available on the market, it turns out that pink grapefruit has the highest nutritional value per unit of calories.
Studies conducted at the University of Florida show that the juice of the fruit is not only high in vitamin C, but it is greater than that of the juice of orange, pineapple, apple, and even white grapefruit. In addition to vitamin C, there is a large amount of potassium, magnesium, folic acid, thiamine. Pink grapefruit also supplies carotenoids - a source for the synthesis of vitamin A. One of them is lycopene, which gives the characteristic color of the fruit.
The nutritional density of grapefruit was examined by 100% juice. It represents the amount of nutrients per unit of calories. Nutrients include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and more.
Citrus fruits are considered to be products with high nutritional density due to their particularly high content of nutrients, as well as low caloric content. This is even more true for pink grapefruit. Even just one glass of 100% juice provides the full daily need for vitamin C.
