Grapefruit is a species that was created from a mixture of sweet orange and pomelo. It has been known since the 19th century - then it was cultivated in the Caribbean, and now it is cultivated in many subtropical countries including the US states of Florida and California. This fruit is called the paradise citrus. It has a bitter taste, which does not suit everyone, but it contains many vitamins and minerals. 

Historically the flesh of the fruit has been used for many reasons after people noticed it had salutary effects in food poisoning or intestinal diseases. Grapefruit contains many vitamins, as well as dietary fiber, which gives a feeling of satiety. It is therefore an ally of a balanced diet.
