Pro Tip

Use ruby red grapefruit for a sweeter, less bitter juice with higher lycopene content. Roll the grapefruit firmly on the counter before cutting to break down the membranes and release more juice.

Serving Suggestions & Storage

How to Serve

Drink fresh in the morning for maximum vitamin absorption. Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the bitterness and bring out the natural sweetness. Mix with fresh orange juice for a citrus blend or add sparkling water for a fizzy spritzer.

How to Store

Fresh grapefruit juice keeps in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The vitamin C content decreases over time, so drink as fresh as possible for maximum benefit.
