What it is

Grapefruit pulp sacs are the small, juice-filled vesicles that make up the flesh of a grapefruit. They are naturally occurring parts of the fruit, separated from the rind and seeds during processing.

Why it's used

These sacs are often included in grapefruit juice and juice drinks to provide a more natural texture and appearance. They contribute to the characteristic pulpy consistency found in some fruit beverages.

Health notes

Grapefruit pulp sacs are a natural component of fruit and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when consumed as part of food. They contain natural sugars, fiber, and vitamin C. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated grapefruit and its components, but no specific ADI is typically set for pulp sacs as they are considered a whole food ingredient. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Grapefruit pulp sacs are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
