Thank you! I guess I am not alone in my perception of “old school grapefruit”
The linked article is making me wonder if salt might help!
"Generally speaking, as the 20th century progressed, grapefruits became redder, sweeter and more completely seedless.
Currently, about three-quarters of the grapefruits that we eat are red. Redder grapefruits contain less naringin, and therefore taste less bitter."
Is that the same stuff that interacts with so many medications! Nope; “The main culprit is a compound in grapefruit called furanocoumarins”.
I do that with thing where you cut inside the segment skin then sweep around to get the pulp out and leave the membrane behind. I might have missed a bit, but it looked pretty pristine!
Leftovers
I have no qualms about waste. I was walking back from the park, passed a neighbor cleaning up and asked her what she was doing with her citrus, and she handed me a box. She said she couldn’t eat it because of medicine and I remembered I wasn’t supposed to eat it either!
This is the wrong yard, but it’s similar.
I wonder if it calms down over time. It’s okay, but I won’t be devoting any more sugar to it!
