Grapefruit is a super-rich source of Vitamin C. It is much more potent than lemons and oranges and has proven to be useful in reducing weight, avoiding Type 2 Diabetes and so much more. It is especially beneficial during this Corona time, as it is rich in anti-oxidants and gives a much-needed boost to the immune system.

We went home for Diwali and this fruit was growing in abundance everywhere. I was amazed by seeing these gorgeous yellow balls hanging on all the trees wherever I could see. My husband’s aunt has several huge trees growing in her garden and she gave several of these ripe fruits. She said it is a lot of fun sitting in the sun and relishing this fruit.
