Grapefruit vs Orange Juice

Grapefruit vs orange juice is a GREAT juice. Grapefruit is a great immunity booster and has more Vitamin C than even orange juice that gets the better known rap. Neither have their own emoji so they’re on fair playing ground as far as I’m concerned 😊 🍇🟠

Like grapes that grow in bunches, that’s where grapefruits got their name originally. 🍇 I’m thinking… mocktail wine idea. 💡

Grapefruit juice is punchy and sweet bitter compared to acidic OJ. The note endings are tart compared to bitter.

These climate changing days, you can find citrus before their winter citrus season and sometimes year-round.

Growing up, I drank grapefruit juice A BUNCH in the winter. So for me, it’s the preferred juice punch… and maybe for YOU TOO! 🤔

You can make your own homemade fresh juices today. They are pure and not concentrated. And the best part is when you make your own, artificial sugar isn’t added back in.

Fresh Grapefruit vs Orange Juice

And with fresh squeezed juices you don’t need that as the fruits themselves are sweet enough.

…I can say that being a hardcore sweet tooth (Vata 🙋🏻‍♀️) who has adapted to better tasting ways that are also more healthy (less sugar adds)! How is that possible?? Gratefully, it is.

And in grapefruit vs orange juice talk, if you choose the sweeter fruits like Cara Cara or navel oranges you will have a calming fresh orange juice that moves through your parasympathetic nerves.

There are over 400 orange types and over 20 grapefruit types.

With grapefruits, the more vibrant and gem color interiors are usually sweeter, where a pink grapefruit is a probably on the medium end.

Grapefruit juice is a perfect example. It has the tangy quality with some ending sweet notes.

For a kid, that’s a lot like pink lemonade that wins points. 💕

Plus, grapefruits are giant-size GREAT big fruits so you’re bound to quench your thirst that helps weight loss.

Anti-Inflammatory Grapefruits

Grapefruits are healthy illusions. Don’t let the translucent light pink to bursting pink colors fool you into thinking they’re light in vitamins.

Because actually grapefruits carry a few rainbow qualities… 🌈

They have  beta-carotene polyphenols like carrots and sweet potatoes, and also lycopene like tomatoes. 

…Grapefruits are also  good for the skin and counteracting skin inflammations that we all give a thumbs up to. 👍

So that makes a well-rounded grapefruit, anti-inflammatory drink experience all around.

AND Grapefruits are loaded with fiber, so they make for a great breakfast accompaniment.

And that reminds me… 💭

I remember the fancy modern buffets I went to on some brunch weekends with my DC metro gang that included a lightly caramelized half grapefruit where you could spoon out each individual juicy wedge.

Special food occasions like that call for special spoons with jagged edges that kinda look like shovels to do the heavy lifting. No juice was lost and no conversation was missed..

In brunch food talk, that was as juicy as a cherry-on-top that always gets noticed like a Ruby Red grapefruit color. 🍒
