Tag: Lemon vs grapefruit

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a single medium grapefruit contains 80–100 mg of vitamin C, significantly more than the 30–40 mg found in a lemon of comparable size. But does this make grapefruit the healthier choice, or is there more to the nutritional comparison of these two popular citrus fruits?

With a pH range of 2.0 to 2.6, lemon juice is significantly more acidic than grapefruit juice, which typically falls between 3.0 and 3.8 on the pH scale. The perception of a fruit's tartness doesn't always align with its precise acidity, prompting many to question which is more acidic, grapefruit or lemon.
