When I was a kid, I just did not know what was good - I wouldn't touch beans, stuffed peppers, or Chinese food...and of course I didn't like grapefruits - what can I say, I was crazy. Grapefruits are in season about half the year, but they have been on sale only recently in our Publix - about fifty cents per pound if you buy a 5lb bag, which I have been happy to do!
Some nutritional facts about grapefruits - they are high in vitamins A and C and are also a source of calcium, folate, and fiber. Nutritiondata.com lists cornflakes as one of the best foods to pair grapefruit with to get a complete protein...and come to think of it, that sounds pretty good!
Personally, grapefruit has such a unique tangy taste that I found myself questioning, should I be eating this while pregnant? And a little searching online revealed that not only is it fine to eat while you're pregnant, a lot of women crave it while they are pregnant.

My aunt and uncle who live in Florida brought us a box of grapefruit from their own trees one year. Nick has been craving them ever since! And he's not even pregnant.
I craved them big time with Gwen. Cottage cheese was my thing this time.
