Grapefruit Porridge

Grapefruit contains valuable natural vitamin P, rich vitamin C and soluble cellulose, and is a fruit with low sugar content. Vitamin P can enhance the function of the skin and pores, which is beneficial to skin health and beauty. Vitamin C can participate in the synthesis of human collagen and promote the production of antibodies to enhance the body's detoxification function. I squeezed the pulp to drink the juice, and the grapefruit peel should not be wasted. It is just right to use it to make porridge, which has a very fragrant taste.

Ingredients for grapefruit porridge

How to make grapefruit porridge

1. Soak the grapefruit peel in light salt water for 1 hour, then rinse it and cut it into thin strips for later use;

2. Put the shredded pomelo peel into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 10 minutes;

3. Put the boiled water, grapefruit peel and rice into a casserole and boil over high heat, then simmer until thick. Grapefruit also contains natural folic acid. Folic acid is not only very important for early pregnancy, but also essential throughout the pregnancy. During pregnancy, as the fetal body tissue grows rapidly, pregnant women need a lot of folic acid to meet the needs of the fetus. Folic acid deficiency will not only increase the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension and placental abruption, but also cause pregnant women to suffer from megaloblastic anemia, intrauterine growth retardation, premature birth and low birth weight of newborns. Therefore, grapefruit is also the first choice of fruit for pregnant women.

In addition, grapefruit is not only rich in nutritional value, but also helps accelerate bone growth. The Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong conducted an experiment for the first time using grapefruit ingredient - grapefruit glycosides, which proved that it can stimulate bone-building genes in cells, causing rabbits to grow new bones four times faster, one day faster than normal bone healing. It is expected that this technology will be widely used in the next few years.
