A Natural, High-Quality Citrus Ingredient

Vita-Pakt Grapefruit Shredded Peel (Item #8) is manufactured from fresh grapefruit grown primarily in California. There’s no better agricultural environment for growing fruit than our state’s sun-drenched hills and valleys. We partner with multigenerational farmers committed to sustainability. All the grapefruit we process is rescued from conventional food waste streams and upcycled. This allows use to maximize our resources and transform imperfect fruit into valuable citrus ingredients like our Grapefruit Shredded Peel.

At Vita-Pakt, we adhere to the most stringent guidelines in the world to assure our customer base that the value of the grapefruit isn’t lost through processing. The peel is cut, pasteurized, and then chilled prior to freezing. The frozen grapefruit peel is shredded to our high-quality specifications. The product contains no added artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives that would minimize the natural citrus flavor and appearance.

Our Grapefruit Peel contains various micro and macronutrients, including dietary fiber, which plays a key role in supporting digestive (gut) health and general well-being maintenance. It’s also a rich source of vitamin C, an essential antioxidant that builds immunity and aids in faster wound recovery. Add this Vita-Pakt citrus ingredient to your food and beverages to boost both the flavor and nutritional value.
