Cool Off With Grapefruit
Yes, there die plenty of grapefruit for
summer Early estimates from fruit growing
areas aie leporting a lower supply of non
citrus fruits due to an unusually long, cold,
rainy spring Fortunately for the housewife,
the grapefruit crop has not been adversely af
fected. She can plan on a abundant supply.
For meals or for snacks fresh grapefruit
brings light, delightful eating to the whole
family. Weight-watchers look to fresh grape
fruit as a treat, not a treatment. One half a
medium grapefruit contains only 40 calories.
It’s an excellent source of vitamin C and con
tains a valuable combination of other impor
tant nutrients.
