Grapefruit is a citrus fruit known for its slightly bitter and tangy flavor, combining notes of sweetness and acidity. It is typically round and ranges in color from pale yellow to pink or red, depending on the variety. Rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, grapefruit is often prized for its potential health benefits, including boosting the immune system and supporting heart health. Commonly consumed fresh, juiced, or as an ingredient in salads and desserts, grapefruit requires caution when taken alongside certain medications due to its ability to interfere with drug metabolism.
