The fruit is so easy to find and prepare, but even the seeds have their benefits! Grapefruit seed extract is often used in food cosmetics and for skin care because it is a powerful antibacterial agent. Great for travelers, adding grape fruit seed extract can even help sanitize filtered water.

Available in health stores, it is a must for international travelers who want to feel their best on the road. On our first trip to India, my husband and I added it to our filtered water. We were lucky to avoid many of the tummy troubles that all of our friends on the trip suffered and enjoyed its citrus tang.

Tips for Preparing Grapefruit

Grapefruit are easy to peel by hand just like an orange. For grapefruit sections without the membrane (that can be slightly bitter), use a sharp pairing knife to cut away the skin from the fruit. Work over a small bowl to catch the juices. Wedge the knife next to the white membranes that holds the fruit in place and pull the grapefruit sections free, one at a time. Place the juice and fruit in an air-tight container for a fast snack anytime. Grapefruit can also be cut in half for a quick breakfast. Just scoop out the sections with a teaspoon.

Quick Serving Ideas and Tips

Pink grapefruit and fresh herbs are a gorgeous pair! Try mixing in fresh basil or cilantro with grapefruit to make a topping for salads, cooked fish, or steamed veggies like green beans.

Eating Safety – Grapefruit and Drug Interactions

Check with your healthcare practitioner about consuming a lot of grapefruit if you’re taking prescription drugs. Certain pharmaceutical drugs should not be combined with grapefruit juice. Medication can become more potent because grapefruit doesn’t allow them to break down, causing them to build up in your system.
