Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming grapefruit.
- Look for grapefruits that feel firm and heavy with thin skin and a light fragrance. Don’t purchase grapefruits that have too many dimples, cracks, or soft spots.
- You can also check the stem end for dark spots, which can indicate over-ripening—but don’t worry too much about that unless you’re planning on eating it later.
- Store grapefruit at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate it to save it from spoiling quickly.
- Grapefruits can be frozen for up to 6 months; however, the texture will change slightly after thawing. Be sure to peel the fruit before freezing.
- Grapefruits are great for adding flavor without adding calories or fat. Try grating it into salads or baking it into cakes and cookies.
- If you’re serving it whole or slicing it into rounds, make sure to serve it chilled so you can enjoy those juicy bursts of deliciousness!
