The presence of exotic fruits on the table has become very popular. And overseas products can now be found in almost every grocery store. Grapefruit is a very healthy and tasty exotic fruit. It is especially popular with the fair sex who dream of losing extra pounds. But for a grapefruit to be really tasty, juicy and ripe, you need to be able to choose the right one.
Instructions
Step 1
The scent of fresh, not stale grapefruit can be felt even at a distance of several meters.
Step 2
In color, grapefruit can be orange, yellow, or pinkish. The presence of a large amount of red on the skin of this exotic fruit speaks of its sweetness.
Step 3
Some minor damage or scars on the top skin of the grapefruit does not mean that the product is unfit for consumption. These kinds of scratches and dents appear as a result of rubbing grapefruit against tree branches.
Step 4
But you should not choose a grapefruit with dark marks in the area of the base of the fruit - these spots may indicate its deterioration.
Step 5
A good ripe grapefruit must be firm, without wrinkles and noticeable signs of aging of the fruit.
Step 6
When choosing a grapefruit, you also need to take the exotic fruit in your hand and estimate its weight. If the fruit is quite heavy in comparison with its size, then it is juicy and has not lost its moisture. Heavy grapefruits tend to have a thin skin.
Step 7
Sellers rarely agree to cut the fruit in the presence of a potential buyer. Still, grapefruit lovers should remember that these exotic foods with red-pink flesh are the sweetest.
Step 8
It is imperative that before eating grapefruit, it should be thoroughly washed with hot water to get rid of the chemicals that process these exotic fruits before being sent to store shelves.
