What is Organic Grapefruit Powder?
Organic Grapefruit Powder is crafted from air-dried Citrus paradisi fruit, including peel and pulp, delivering a nutrient-dense blend of fiber and bioflavonoids. We also supply Organic Grapefruit Juice Powder, made from cold-pressed juice concentrate, offering a tangy, citrus-forward flavor for beverages and functional foods. Both products harness the immune-boosting and antioxidant power of grapefruit.
