With a crisp but bitter taste that stimulates your appetite, grapefruits are packed with vitamins A, C, and E as well as pectin. Pectin in grapefruit helps prevent obesity as it lowers cholesterol and maintains blood sugar levels in your body.

Choose grapefruits that are perfectly round and heavy for their size. They should also maintain their shape when you press down on them. They will keep fresh and tasty for longer if you wrap them in newspaper and store in a cool place.

Grapefruits and lemons are good if you’re on a diet. In particular, the bitter taste of a grapefruit helps curb your appetite.
