What's the difference between grapefruit with red heart and grapefruit with white heart? Which is better for your health?

It's autumn again, and it's the annual shopping time for grapefruit. It is believed that grapefruit is already a common fruit in many families. Especially the grapefruit with red heart, thanks to the hype of the merchants, "the grapefruit with red heart is more nutritious than the grapefruit with white heart", which is the first choice of many families, but is this really the case?

The biggest difference between grapefruit with red heart and grapefruit with white heart is the coloring pigment. It is red because it contains β -carotene and lycopene, two world-recognized strong antioxidants. Merchants usually say that it can improve immunity and delay aging.

Grapefruit is rich in vitamin B, vitamin C, minerals and other elements, which has a good effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing blood viscosity, regulating blood lipids and lowering cholesterol in the body. Secondly, grapefruit can also strengthen the stomach and promote digestion, and it is a kind of fruit that can lose weight. However, grapefruit is a cold fruit, so it is not recommended to eat too much at a time, which is not conducive to health.

At this time of the year, people will hear the news that grapefruit with red hearts is dyed by injection, but this is actually impossible. You think, if you inject pigment, it will not be good for preservation, and there is no guarantee that pigment can dye grapefruit evenly. Merchants will not be so stupid.

Many people think that bitter grapefruit peel must contain a lot of nutrition and is a treasure.
