Grapefruit, Ruby Red

Grapefruit, what a great fruit! Thought to be orange x pomelo.

This Ruby Red variety is sweeter (eat raw, without adding honey!) although grapefruit is tart!  It's a good treat... low joule, low GI, with vitamin C, fibre and minerals.

Grapefruit varieties include the:

• Marsh: traditional yellow skin, pale yellow flesh and no seeds that's mild in flavour.
• Thompson (or Pink Marsh): yellow skin, pink to red flesh and no seeds.
• Wheeny: Well it's not small, actually quite large, with green to yellow thin skin and seeds. It is juicy, lemony and has seeds. 
• Ruby Red variety (or Ruby, Rio Red and Star Blush) with an attractive pink inner. it is good looking and sweeter. We stock this variety.

Warning: taking medication? Talk to your doctor before eating grapefruit as it interacts with some medications.
