Loading... Please wait...The grapefruit is a large citrus fruit related to the orange, lemon and pomelo. Grapefruits are categorized as white (blond), pink or ruby.
However, this terminology doesn't reflect their skin color, which is either yellow or pinkish-yellow, but rather describes the color of their flesh.
Grapefruits usually range in diameter from four to six inches, with some varieties featuring seeds while others are seedless.
The wonderful flavor of a grapefruit is like paradise, just as its Latin name Citrus paradisi connotes.
It is juicy, tart and tangy with an underlying sweetness that weaves throughout.
