Grapefruit - Pucker Up!

By Hklbrries

It may be cold and dark outside, but winter is grapefruit’s time to shine.Here’s a rundown on the kinds you’remost likely to find.

-

Red: Supposedly, the redder the flesh, the sweeter the flavor, but we often find red grapefruit a little bitter. On the upside, that color comes from lycopene, a cancer-fighting antioxidant.

-

Oro Blanco: The “white gold” is a cross between a pomelo and a white grapefruit, with bright green to lemon yellow skin, a thick rind, and sweet flesh.

-

Pink: The most palatable variety, with a mildly tangy sweetness (great for juicing), pink ones fall between red and white on the color and sweetness spectrums.

-

White: With creamy yellow skin, this is the least sweet variety. It’s also a test kitchen favorite for its sweet-tart balance and intense, vibrant aroma.

-

Pomelo: Think of this as the granddaddy of them all. Pomelos are large and lime green or yellow, with mellow flesh and a bitter, thick pith that is fabulously easy to peel. The sections hold up well in salads.
