Grapefruit is very beneficial for the human body. It contains vitamins B2, C, calcium, potassium, fiber, organic acids and essential oils. The only minute is that the fruit is not that easy to peel. But this is fixable!
It is necessary
- - grapefruit;
- - a sharp knife.
Instructions
Step 1
Before handling grapefruit (like any other vegetable or fruit), wash it thoroughly.
Step 2
Grapefruit is very similar in structure to an orange, only the skin and the white layer under it are much thicker. So, to peel a grapefruit from the skin, arm yourself with a sharp knife and make vertical cuts along the entire fruit. It is important to calculate the depth of the cut so that the blade of the knife does not damage the juicy pulp of the grapefruit. Then, prying with a knife or just with your hands, begin to skin the pulp.
Step 3
After the skin, remove the white layer, which separates you from the juicy pulp of the fruit.
Step 4
Now take a practically peeled grapefruit and gently divide it into slices with your hands. Your next main task is to get rid of the film and white streaks on each slice, because they give the grapefruit a bitter and tart taste. After the work done, you can start enjoying the fragrant pulp of grapefruit.
Step 5
If you don't feel like fiddling with peeling a grapefruit at all, you can choose this option: just cut the grapefruit in half and remove the pulp with a regular teaspoon.
Step 6
Finally, use the easiest way to peel grapefruit. This can be done using a special kitchen machine designed for peeling oval and round fruits and vegetables.
