Tropicana® Premium Fresh grapefruits are the perfect blend of sweet and sour. For years, grapefruits have been well known as a diet food. A high fiber content causes a full feeling, lessening the urge to overeat. But the health benefits do so much more than just help people maintain a healthy weight. Phytochemicals, such as lycopene, are found in grapefruit. Red grapefruit varieties contain more lycopene than white grapefruit.
