Indian River Grapefruits are some of the most delicious of the grapefruit varieties. The grapefruit is a newcomer to the citrus family, since before 1940, it was considered to be an abnormally large orange and was not distinguished to be a separate fruit. People loved the taste and sweetness of the Indian River grapefruit so much even before it was considered a fruit of its own, that they began to cultivate it, starting first in Florida, where cutting from grapefruit plants had been brought overseas by explorers investigating the islands of the Bahamas and Barbados as a source for possible land expansion.
The Indian River Grapefruit grows in some of the most vitamin and calcium rich soil in the world, adding to the already extensive benefits of eating citrus fruits on a regular basis. The river’s sandy soil is the perfect place for the grapefruit tree to take root, since the actual roots of citrus plants tend to burrow deep into the soil and as such, require a tremendous amount of support. At Hale Groves, our groves on the banks of this famous river have been yielding high quality citrus fruits for generations, and our natural growing methods mean that the Indian River Grapefruits you receive are never treated with pesticides or artificial growth chemicals.
Grapefruit is a natural appetite suppressant, due to its high fiber content, and the juice of a grapefruit is loaded with antioxidants and natural energy-boosting vitamins. Instead of drinking one of those high sugar, chemical-rich energy drinks in the morning, why not try a fresh glass of Indian River Grapefruit Juice instead? Indian River Grapefruit is slightly sweeter than other varieties, making it a perfect “juicing” fruit, and a diet rich in fresh fruit has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and lower levels of “bad” or negative LDL Cholesterol, which, if untreated, can lead to fatty deposits in the arterial walls of the body.
