Red Grapefruit Juice

Red grapefruit juice is the liquid extracted from the flesh of red grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi). It is produced by pressing or reaming the fruit to release its juice, which is then often filtered.

Red grapefruit juice is used to add a tart, slightly sweet citrus flavor to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in fruit salads, beverages, alcoholic mixers, and dressings.

Red grapefruit juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients. However, grapefruit juice can interact with certain medications by affecting how the body metabolizes them. Consumers taking medication should consult with their doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions.
