Seasonal Ingredient of the Week: Grapefruit

We think, maybe, we're past the worst of the cold - the Siberian storm is firmly back in Siberia and call us optimistic but we think spring is in the air, or at least citrus fruits have hit the shelves again - so no matter how grey the skies are outside, at least our meal times are brightened. A breakfast staple growing up, grapefruit is the the perfect light option for warmer days (we're optimistic), lightly grilled with a drizzle of honey, or stew them with honey and add to your porridge in the mean time.  


Choose grapefruits with a plump appearance that feel heavy when picked up - they'll be the juiciest of the bunch. Add them to your meals when you're feeling run down to benefit from their high vitamin C levels, or eat them when you're in need to a sweet fix - their low GI levels means they won't affect your blood sugar levels are much as other fruit!
