Eating grapefruit with the skin provides an additional source of fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health. The skin also contains various nutrients and antioxidants that may help support overall health. However, it's important to wash the grapefruit thoroughly before consuming the skin to remove any potential pesticides or contaminants.
Grapefruit skin may contain a substance called furanocoumarins, which can interfere with the activity of certain enzymes in the body and may interact with medications. It is advisable to avoid consuming grapefruit with its skin to reduce the risk of potential adverse effects. Additionally, the bitter taste of the skin may not be palatable to everyone.
While grapefruit allergies are uncommon, they can occur in some individuals. Those with citrus allergies may be more likely to experience a reaction to grapefruit, including its skin. If you suspect an allergy, it's important to seek advice from a healthcare professional for diagnosis and guidance.
