Grapefruit is a subtropical fruit and is grown in warm climates around the world. The main commercial producers of grapefruit are the United States, China, India, and Brazil. Grapefruit is a source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. It also contains a number of phytochemicals, such as limonene, lycopene, and beta-carotene. The fruit has a high water content and is a good source of electrolytes.

Storage:
The riper the grapefruit, the less it will keep. The lower shelves of the refrigerator or special fruit compartments are the best places for this fruit. Grapefruits have a maximum shelf life of 10 days. After that, they dry out, which spoils their flavor and aroma.
