Every 100 grams of grapefruit contains 53 Kcal of energy, 0.6 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat, 12.2 g of carbohydrates, 125 mcg of retinol, 23 mg of calcium, and 27 mg of phosphorus. Other ingredients are flavonoids, pectin, and lycopene. Allesipitoe Village, Ma'rang District, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi, is a center for pomelo cultivation with a potential area of 350 ha and 70,000 trees.
