Have you ever looked at a grapefruit, thought it looked pretty good, but decided not to buy it because you weren’t sure how to enjoy this citrus fruit?
If so, fear not! Here is your comprehensive guide to how to enjoy a grapefruit with four easy steps.
Step One: Slice in Half
The first thing you’ll want to do is use a large sharp knife to cut the grapefruit in half. Slice it down the middle at its most center and fattest point, and this will leave you with two sections.
Step Two: Sprinkle with Sugar
Next, take some sugar from your pantry and sprinkle it on top of the flesh of the grapefruit in both sections. Don’t overdo it, but adding just a little bit of sweetness makes this bitter and tangy fruit a lot more enjoyable.
Step Three: Use a Serrated Spoon
Here’s the most important key to eating a grapefruit: use a serrated spoon! This special type of spoon will allow you to dig out the grapefruit pieces from the membrane that separates the flesh with little effort.
Step Four: Enjoy the Juice
After you’ve used your serrated spoon to eat the grapefruit’s flesh, you’ll notice that there’s a ton of juice left over. Grab a small glass and squeeze out all of that delicious grapefruit juice! You’ll get a couple of ounces of juice that you can enjoy right away, putting the perfect end on your grapefruit experience.
