Grapefruit Granita
Grapefruit Granita
It’s hard to imagine that just freezing and stirring grapefruit juice can so fully transform it into a frozen dessert — but it does! Grapefruit is a great fruit for a granita, but you can try almost any juice, particularly citrus. Just like oranges, grapefruit are an excellent source of vitamin C.

DID YOU KNOW?
The word granita shares the same root as granular, because the frozen dessert has a grainy texture.
