During the fall, I ate boatloads of apples. I still enjoy the 'crispies' now, but I have a new flavor craving; grapefruit. They are juicy, and ripe right now. The peak season is from January to April. I get them at a wholesale warehouse and I eat them everyday. The fiber content and high water content helps me feel full longer and I enjoy the flavor.
Many people slice them in half and eat them with a grapefruit spoon ( I used to eat them with honey, or people sprinkle sugar on them. One of the benefits of the clean eating plan is the increase in my taste buds; therefore I feel that I don't need to cover this fruit in sugar or honey to enjoy it- this lowers the calorie count on it).
Pink and red varieties have vitamin A and all varieties have vitamin C. The most popular Florida varieties are Ruby Red, Marsch White, and Flame.
Try grapefruit, and remember throw yummy they are.
