Grapefruit Puree

Grapefruit puree is made from the flesh of grapefruit, a citrus fruit. The fruit is typically processed to remove seeds and rind, then pureed to create a smooth consistency. It retains the natural flavor and color of the grapefruit.

Grapefruit puree is primarily used to add a distinct tart and slightly sweet citrus flavor to foods and beverages. It can be found in sauces, dressings, ice cream, sorbet, and baked goods, contributing both flavor and a natural fruit component.

Grapefruit puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients found in grapefruit. While grapefruit itself can interact with certain medications, this is not typically a concern with the small amounts used as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated grapefruit and its components.
