Grapefruit Question.?!
Grapefruit Question.?
I'm a lover of grapefruit. I hated it as a child, I think because I had a grandmother who would push it on me constantly.
Anyhow, I love it now......I particularly love the red grapefruit.
Something that makes me curious, though, is ..... okay, sometimes you buy grapefruit labelled "red" and when you slice it open, the flesh is actually very pale pink or even lighter. The first time I had this happen, I thought they were mislabelled, but I have since had it happen many times and I'm guessing there's a reason for this and I'm the one who's wrong in my thinking??
I'm just curious~!
Answers: Marketing people named it thinking it would sell better and sound newer than plain old delicious white grapefruit that's really yellow! Right?
. They're not mislabled, just not ripe. Grab a squishier grapefruit if want darker color and less-bitter flavor. I thought all grapefruit were pink inside. Shows what I know.
