Red Grapefruit

Brighten your day with the bold, tangy-sweet flavor of fresh red grapefruit, a citrus powerhouse that brings vibrant taste and beautiful coral-pink color to your table. Red grapefruit is a popular citrus variety known for its distinctive ruby-red flesh and balanced flavor profile that's less bitter than white grapefruit yet more complex than oranges. The juicy segments offer a refreshing tartness with subtle sweet notes, while the flesh has a tender, succulent texture that releases aromatic citrus oils with each bite. This versatile fruit originated from a natural mutation of white grapefruit and has become a breakfast staple and culinary favorite across American and Mediterranean cuisines. Enjoy red grapefruit fresh by cutting it in half and scooping out segments with a spoon, or peel and section it for fruit salads, green salads, and yogurt parfaits. The bright acidity makes it excellent for juicing, either on its own or mixed with other citrus fruits. In cooking and baking, red grapefruit adds complexity to marinades for fish and poultry, while the segments complement avocado in salads and pair beautifully with fennel and arugula. Try grilling halved grapefruit with a sprinkle of brown sugar for a caramelized dessert, or use the juice in cocktails, vinaigrettes, and glazes. The zest from the peel also works wonderfully in baked goods like muffins, cakes, and scones, adding aromatic citrus notes that brighten any recipe.
