Pink Grapefruit
The wife likes them, hence the tree. I have always appreciated the juice when paired with rum or vodka, or in place of lemon when cooking. Just ate one, dropped it when picking a few bags, and it was incredible. Mom puts brown sugar on them and sticks them under the broiler, but I just cut one end off and ate it. Anyone else a fan?

Yup. Sprinkle with just a few grains of sugar to give that extra bit of sweetness.
You may want to try a pumelo - like a pink grapefruit, but massively thick skin. Gotta cut and peel adn eventually you can get the pulp out to eat. Good stuff. |
I have one almost every morning, I cut it in half, cut the segments, use a spoon to take them out in a bowl, squeeze it for the last juice. No sugar ever.
And, fresh grapefruit juice and Rum is great. |
I like them, but it interferes with my meds so I don't get to eat them very often.

The real Texas Ruby Reds here need no sugar. They are at the low end of an orange for sweetness. Peel them and eat them.

Love the juice, but don't care for the stringy texture...just like oranges for me.
|
Ruby red is what this tree is James, I think they are plenty sweet, right off the tree. The flavor is a little overpowering if you juice them, have to water the juice down to drink it.
|
I love grapefruit but they sometimes interfere with medications. I don't take a lot of meds but most my age are taking some kind of high BP stuff. So, I don't even look it up, I just don't eat them anymore. Love tangerines.

I like the juice but as others have said due to my meds can't drink it anymore. I was at a BBQ and they had a grapefruit tree heavy with fruit so one of the guys picked a bunch and made a pitcher of juice, it was delicious, then I had diarrhea for 48 hours so obviously I haven't had any since.

When my kids were little, I decided I liked grapefruit juice because the kids didn't like it, so there was always some in the refrig.

Try switching to Guinness or something else a little bit dark.

Ruby Red Grapefruit when perfectly ripe are very sweet and need nothing other than to be eaten. i normally peel them and eat the sections like that.
Growing up, one of my grandparents had a grapefruit tree in their yard. It was the white kind. Those have little to no sweetness. I was always served those, cut in half, with sugar sprinkled on them with a grapefruit spoon. |
