What is pamplemousse?

Pamplemousse is the French word for grapefruit. It is a subtropical citrus fruit that is a hybrid between a pomelo and an orange. Grapefruits are known for their tart and slightly bitter taste, with a juicy and refreshing texture. They are commonly used in breakfast dishes, salads, cocktails, and desserts.

Grapefruits are also a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. They are low in calories and have been associated with various health benefits, such as improved digestion, lower cholesterol levels, and weight loss.

There are different varieties of grapefruit, including white, pink, and red varieties, each with its own unique flavor profile. They are typically in season from winter to early summer, depending on the variety.
