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.
