The Star Ruby variety has a smooth, yellow rind
which covers its deep red flesh. This sweet, juicy grapefruit
is seedless, making it a hassle-free fruit. Grapefruits get
their name from the way they grow in clusters on trees, like
grapes. |
Uses:
Grapefruits are great for slicing and eating fresh, by themselves,
but they also make an excellent salad topper. Looking for a creative
way to include grapefruits in your diet? Try dipping peeled and sectioned
slices in low-fat vanilla yogurt and sprinkle granola on top. This
makes a healthy, crunchy treat.
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.
