Grapefruit juice without sugar

Unsweetened grapefruit juice is the liquid extracted from fresh grapefruit, a citrus fruit characterized by its bittersweet and slightly tart flavor. This juice is obtained by squeezing the pulp of the grapefruit, preserving its natural taste without the addition of sugars, making it a healthy option for those seeking a refreshing and low-calorie beverage.

Grapefruit, whose scientific name is Citrus × paradisi, originated in the Caribbean and tropical America, resulting from the natural cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo. It is a very popular fruit in Latin America, the United States, and various citrus-growing regions around the world.

This juice is rich in vitamin C, natural antioxidants such as flavonoids, and has diuretic and digestive properties. Furthermore, it helps strengthen the immune system and contributes to improving iron absorption in the body.

Regarding the synonyms used in different regions of Latin America, grapefruit juice can also be found as jugo de pomelo or zumo de pomelo, especially in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. In some areas, it is simply known as jugo de toronja, but specifying that it is unsweetened is common to indicate a more natural and healthy option in recipes.
