Healthy summer recipes with South African grapefruit

Sweet and savoury dishes using one of summer’s favourite fruits.

Summer eating is all about fresh, healthy and delicious ingredients and there’s nothing better than using in-season fruit and vegetables as the basis of our dishes.

Grapefruit is also hugely versatile and can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes, thanks to the number of varieties of the fruit now available in the UK.
