Description
The red grapefruit is similar to a Valencia orange in terms of shape, though their tastes are very different. Its pebbled skin will range from a bright yellow to an orange-yellow color. Grapefruits have a fairly thick rind and segmented flesh. Grapefruits will range from red, sweeter varieties (Rio & Star Rubies) in the winter to pale pink, more sour varieties during the summer months.
