The Ruby Red, a medium- to large-sized variety of grapefruit, has a smooth, yellow rind. Inside, the flesh is juicy, sweet, and pink or red in color. Rudy Red grapefruits have very few seeds. Grapefruits get their name from the way they grow in clusters on trees, like grapes.

Uses:
Grapefruits are great for slicing and eating fresh, but they also make an excellent salad topper. Looking for a way to cut calories from your diet? Try squeezing fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice over broiled fish or poultry instead of using butter.

Selection & Storage:
Choose smooth, firm, heavy grapefruit—the heavier the grapefruit, the juicier. At room temperature, grapefruit can last about 1 week; when refrigerated, they can last several weeks. Avoid grapefruits with bruised or puffy peels.
