Grapefruit: Pink vs Yellow

[Tetrachloride]

Can you tell the difference? Which do you prefer?

[applegrove]

1. Pink by far.

[padfun]

2. Pink!!

I love the Texas Pink grapefruits. I have a Pink grapefruit tree in the back but not sure of the exact type.

3. I never see yellow any more

love grapefruit, yellow is more tart, but I like them both.

4. Both are in my Mediterranean region. I can't tell the difference

yet consistently. At this early stage, one friend likes yellow more.

Not available in most markets.

11. Mediterranean region?

12. Yellow (with white flesh) is still around

but I rarely see it in stores. A shame, since I prefer it.

[Kali]

14. yes, you are correct

I meant in stores. plenty of yellow trees still around. have received fruit from friends.

5. Love grapefruit

the pink is sweeter. I eat both but prefer the pink

6. Pink, but both are yummy.

7. I prefer the tart yellow

but will eat the pink. DH, on the other hand, doesn't believe there's enough sugar in the world to tolerate any level of grapefruit. So, either one is mine, all mine. So is any grepefruit juice I buy, and the Fresca for my Paloma cocktails.

I don't mind.

8. Neither. Grapefruit is dangerous with many medications

Grapefruit and pomegranate screw up the absorption of many medications. Be careful with it.

10. ty. I didn't know about pomegranate

[Retrograde]

13. I allow myself one every six months

That way, I don't feel deprived, and my doctor says as long as I don't wash down my meds with a tall glass of grapefruit juice the occasional one is not going to be bad. I only eat the yellow ones, which are hard to find. Anyway, I can still pick them up and smell them.

9. Ruby Red.

15. The Best! Mr YD thinks it is an abomination

so I don't get it very often.

I much prefer the Ruby Red.

When I fix it, I slice it in big slices then cut the slices in half. So much easier than scooping it out. and you get all the fiber.

My daughter's in-laws have a grapefruit tree which bears wonderful fruit. When we are there during the harvest time, I bring home a bunch to my friends.

16. A most excellent way to prepare it! And it is so very thoughtful to share the

bounty with your neighbors.
