There are white, red, pink, and yellow varieties. A general rule of thumb is that the sweeter varieties have a deep red flesh. Duncan is a white grapefruit with a lot of seeds, but has excellent flavor and is great for juicing.
They are mostly sold to companies that make grapefruit juice and rarely sold to consumers. The Marsh grapefruit is a seedless descendant from Duncan with similar flavor and slightly less juicy. Note that seedless varieties can still have a few seeds. The Pink Marsh also called Ruby Marsh is a hybrid variety with pink flesh and is sweeter than the white Marsh. A darker and slightly sweeter version of the Pink Marsh was developed, called Ruby Red , and is mostly grown in Texas.
A mutation of Ruby Red, called Flame , was discovered in a citrus grove in Texas. Flame grapefruit are one of the sweetest varieties. Ruby Red became an entire category of grapefruit grown in Texas as a result of breeding programs to get redder and sweeter flesh.
These include several types of grapefruit that might be labeled as 'Ruby Red' or by their varietal names. These 'ruby red' varieties are all quite similar to each other and have slightly darker flesh, are less bitter, and even sweeter than the previously listed varieties.
Oro Blanco and Melogold are grapefruit-pomelo hybrids, both have pale yellow flesh and are seedless. They are know for having almost no bitterness, low acidity, and are quite sweet. An agriculturalist at the University of California says Melogolds are better for mass-farming, but Oro Blancos have better flavor.
I've had both, and I agree. Also try the Oro Blanco grapefruit-pomelo hybrid, which also tastes quite sweet. Getting a super sweet grapefruit isn't just about picking the right variety, a few other things go into it as well:.
Grapefruits that are heavier for their size are juicier because more water content makes them heavier. Larger grapefruit compared to ones of the same variety indicate they were left longer on the tree, so they will be sweeter. Scarring on the fruit's outer peel is perfectly fine, but you don't want to see hard or soft spots on the peel a sign of deterioration. It also has 17g of sugar, which is about the same as an apple, and twice as much as an orange.
You can cut it in half around the equator and eat each segment with a spoon, or you can peel it and cut segments out similar to an orange. The Pioneer Woman shares 3 ways to slice grapefruit , with plenty of pictures.
Remove wax before you zest: Grapefruits and all citrus are usually coated with a thin layer of wax to prevent moisture loss, which is currently approved by the FDA. Organic grapefruit are also coated in wax, but from an organic source like palm oil.
To remove the wax, use a stiff bristle brush like a vegetable brush , and clean it under hot running water. Zest the outer, colored part of the peel, stopping when you get to the white part. The white part is the pith and is bitter. It's common practice in the US to add sugar to grapefruit, even though it is already one of the sweeter fruits we consume. But it doesn't taste as sweet as other fruits, and that's due to its bitterness. We also have a page with links to our own simple instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and vegetables, such as how to make jam , apple butter , applesauce , spaghetti sauce , salsa , pickles , ketchup or freezing corn.
Please note that actual dates may vary by as much as two or three weeks due to weather conditions, geographical location of the farm, and other factors. And since new varieties are always being developed, and farms may plant different varieties, it is always advisable to call a farm earlier than the expected beginning of a season to verify on the status of the product you are interested in.
