Nutritional Info

Grapefruit is a great fruit low in calories high in fiber with lots of vitamin C. If you get the pink or red variety instead of the white, grapefruit is also rich in beta carotene. Half the fiber is the insoluble type (good for the intestines) and half is soluble pectin fiber (good for the heart). Remember though, that a lot of fiber is in the stringy walls that separate the segments. If you’re digging out grapefruit segments with a spoon, you’ll out on much of the fiber.

While weight-conscious adults might want to stick to an apple an day rather than an avocado a day, the high calorie content of avocados makes them a good food for growing children. The fat content of avocado depends upon the variety. Florida avocados have half the fat and two-thirds the calories of California avocados.
