Grapefruit
From Wikibooks, the
open-content textbooks collection
The grapefruit
is a large citrus fruit that is moderately sour and
slightly bitter. It is well-known for causing dangerous
interactions with drugs, so be sure to investigate this if
you are taking any medication. Pink or red grapefruits
tend to be sweeter and have more vitamins than the
"white" (yellow) grapefruits.
To serve a
grapefruit in the traditional manner, first cut it in half
right across the axis. A small spoon may then be used to
scoop out the pulp. You may wish to first cut around the
center or around the edge, possibly using a bent serrated
knife. You may wish to use a grapefruit spoon. If the
grapefruit is particularly sour, you might sprinkle some sugar
on top.
