Grapefruit

  The grapefruit, along with the rest of Citrus, is superb as far as vitamin C is concerned. Fresh grapefruit has a low content of sugar thus being low in calories. Half a grapefruit covers the daily need of the human organism for vitamin C and has only 40 kcal. The grapefruit is juicy and its peel has a shiny, smooth, thin texture.
