Grapefruit Ideas?

I put stevia or some other sugar replacement on them and eat them with a graprefruit spoon, makes it slightly sweeter and they take awhile to eat

I make sure to peel them very carefully... That thin white skin in between each section is what gives it the bitter taste, and I found that when i remove all of that skin I they're much less bitter and I actually like the flavor. That takes a lot of work and paper towels though lol

If you still don't like it after peeling each section separately then stevia works too...

I thought about getting all the white skin off but figured it was alright on oranges so it couldn't be that bad.Well I will definitely put in the work to get if off of there if that's what is making it sooo bitter. And I got to get some fake sugar lol

Yeah, I think you'll notice a HUGE difference if you don't eat that skin. They're so yummy! It's worth the work.

I always cut off both ends of the grapefruit, then cut off the rest of the peel from top to bottom, removing all the white pith and the outer edge of each section all the way around. Put a bowl underneath as it's very juicy! I then use my knife to section out each individual segment. Sometimes you can work your knife down one side, scoot underneath it, and pop the whole segment out. It takes some practice, but it's worth it. I think you get a lot more grapefruit for the buck, and it's cheaper and probably healthier than buying the presegmented in jars.

They are not my favorite, so I have to use sweetener, too--EXCEPT for those Texas Rio Star red grapefruit that should be available very soon in my area (midwest). Those are so sweet that I can eat them as is. Meijer sells them by 18 lb bags in the winter (but just for a few weeks, and they aren't here yet), and we stock up!

I just read this, too (although this isn't the site I originally saw it): http://www.unclematts.com/blog/2011/05/new-research-suggests-grapefruit-can-play-a-role-in-weight-loss-success/

Ugh I hate grapefruit - why is one of these suckers in EVERY fruit salad? :grumble:

Personally, I'd give em to somebody who likes them and buy oranges, but that's just me, haha.

Try a Ruby Red, much sweeter than the white or the pink! If all else fails try juicing them with some pineapple.

Edit.... use a bit of the peel to get scuff marks off your tile or vinyl floors or drop some in the garbage disposal to freshen it up.
