Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil

Being a subtropical citrus tree, Grapefruit is well-known for its sour and tangy taste. It is the round, yellow-orange fruit of an evergreen citrus tree. The fruit grows in clusters hence inspired the name “grape” fruit. It originated from Barbados as an accidental cross between two species that are sweet orange (C. sinensis) and pomelo (or shaddock) (C. maxima). Both were introduced from Asia in the seventeenth century. Often people confuse it with the very similar parent species, pomelo.

When it was first found, it was known as the ‘forbidden fruit’. Grapefruit is used in a variety of salads and its pulp has a plenty of its own benefits including being a popular fat-burning fruit. The trees of evergreen grapefruit grow to a height of 5 to 6 meters. They may also reach to 13 to 15 meters. The color of the leaves is dark green, and the texture is glossy. Moreover, the length of the leaves is up to 15 centimeters and are thin. The color of the flesh of this fruit varies depending on the cultivars, which include pink, white and red pulps of varying sweetness. You must be aware that Grapefruit can benefit in weight loss.
