Organic Ruby Grapefruit

Grapefruits were an accident! Those of you that find them a little too sharp might scoff that you could have guessed as much, but we think they’re irreplaceable so prefer to call it serendipity. 
Besides, we always order the ruby kind, which are refreshing without being wince-inducing.

Allegedly, we have a character called Captain Shaddock to thank for bringing pomelo seeds to Jamaica from Indonesia, the escapee seeds of which then bred with the orange, begging the question why the sweetness of both those parent fruits (pomelo are fairly mild, if you haven’t tried one) absented itself almost entirely from their offspring. The mums and dads among you can possibly point to comparable traits which have skipped a generation. In any case, pink grapefruits make a lovely marmalade if you don’t fancy one alongside yogurt and pastries as part of a three course breakfast. You can also cut them in half and grill or use them in salads, particularly with fennel, avocado and your protein of choice. If you have a juicer, grapefruit is great with ginger, cucumber, celery and carrot or beetroot.
