Enjoy Fresh Grapefruit and Stay Healthy

Some people think that in order to eat healthy you need to spend a lot of money on special food and give up food that is tasty and flavorful to eat a lot of boring greens. That’s just not true. Eating healthy includes eating delicious foods like grapefruit, strawberries, luscious tropical fruit, exotic Honeybells and Clementines and hundreds of other foods. There are dozens of delicious and healthy foods that you can afford on any budget. You don’t have to give up flavor at all. In fact, you can use foods like naturally sweet citrus fruit to add even more flavor to healthy food. Segments of Pink grapefruit in a light green salad with a vinaigrette dressing make for a flavor packed meal or appetizer that would fit in at any restaurant. Cooking and eating healthy just means knowing your ingredients and knowing how to blend flavors to create sweet, delicious, tangy tastes using flavors that are found in nature instead of produced in a lab.

Florida grapefruit and fresh grapefruit juice can be used in many healthy recipes. Grapefruit juice is a great substitute for sugar in baking. Instead of adding liquid and sugar to a recipe just add grapefruit juice. Your dishes will be naturally sweet without any refined sugar and the grapefruit will add a light and refreshing citrus taste. Try making sauces and stews with orange or grapefruit zest to add some real zing. Baked goods like cupcakes and muffins can be topped with grapefruit segments or with grapefruit preserves if you really want a sweet taste. Making grapefruit compote is an easy way to get the sweet taste you crave without eating too much refined sugar. Warm grapefruit compote tastes great over a whole grain waffle in the morning too.

Once you start experimenting with healthy cooking you’ll be amazed at how much you can do with simple citrus fruit like oranges and grapefruit. But, when you’re cooking with healthy ingredients the quality of those ingredients really matters so always buy great quality citrus fruit. Florida grapefruit is famous for tasting great and being the best quality citrus fruit in the country so invest in a box of real Florida grapefruit if you want to start cooking healthy. You will notice the difference in taste and so will your family and friends.
