Questions about Pink and red grapefruit
How do you cut a grapefruit into neat segments?
Trim a thin slice from each end, stand the fruit on a board and cut away the peel and white pith in strips. Slice between the membranes to lift out the segments; squeeze the remaining membranes over them for juice.
How can you tell when a grapefruit is ripe?
Choose one that feels heavy for its size and has firm, smooth skin. A little give is fine, but avoid fruit with soft spots or shrivelled patches.
How long does grapefruit keep?
Keep whole grapefruit in a cool, dry place for several days, or refrigerate it to keep it fresh for longer. Once cut, cover it and refrigerate, then eat it within a few days.
Can you grill or bake grapefruit?
Yes. Halve it crosswise, loosen the segments with a small knife, then grill cut-side up for about 3–5 minutes until the edges begin to brown. A little honey or brown sugar helps the surface caramelise.
What goes well with grapefruit?
Its sharp, slightly bitter flavour works with avocado, fennel, prawns and leafy salads. It also cuts through rich foods such as smoked fish, and the segments make a bright addition to fruit salad.
Can you substitute orange for grapefruit?
Orange works in salads, baking and drinks, but it is sweeter and less bitter. For a closer flavour match, use pomelo or a mix of orange and lemon.
Is pink or red grapefruit different from white grapefruit?
The flesh is more colourful and often tastes sweeter than white grapefruit, though both have a tangy, bitter edge. Pink or red grapefruit has 37 mg of vitamin C per 100 g; white grapefruit has 37 mg per 100 g.
Can grapefruit affect medicines?
Yes. Grapefruit and its juice can change how some medicines work, and the effect can last beyond the meal. Ask a pharmacist whether grapefruit is safe with your medicines.
