Questions about White grapefruit
How can you tell when a white grapefruit is ripe?
Choose one that feels heavy for its size and has firm, smooth skin without soft spots. A slight give is fine, but a very soft fruit may be past its best.
How do you cut white grapefruit into neat segments?
Slice off the top and bottom, stand the fruit on a board and cut away the peel and pith in strips. Hold it over a bowl and slice between the membranes to release the segments; squeeze the remaining membranes for juice.
How do you make white grapefruit taste less bitter?
Cut away as much white pith as you can, and remove the tough membranes from each segment. A little honey or a pinch of sugar can soften the sharpness, especially in a fruit salad.
How should you store white grapefruit?
Keep whole fruit in a cool, dry place for several days, or refrigerate it to keep it fresh for longer. Refrigerate cut segments or juice in a covered container and use within a few days.
What can you make with white grapefruit?
Add peeled segments to a salad with avocado, fennel or prawns, or use them in fruit salad with mint. For a warm dish, halve the fruit, sprinkle the cut surface with a little sugar and grill until lightly browned.
Can you use white grapefruit instead of lemon or lime?
You can use its juice in dressings, marinades and drinks, but it is less sharply acidic and has a more bitter edge. Start with a little, then add lemon or lime if the dish needs more tang.
Can white grapefruit affect medicines?
Yes. Grapefruit can alter how some medicines work, and the effect can vary by medicine; ask a pharmacist whether grapefruit is suitable with yours before eating it regularly.
