Grapefruit is a relatively late addition to the citrus family. It originated from the natural combination of orange and pomelo. The grapefruit is huge in size like the pomelo, but looks like an orange from the outside.

As all citrus fruits, the grapefruit contains a large amount of vitamin C. Apart from this, the grapefruit houses other essential nutrients and minerals which help in preventing as well as curing a host of diseases.
