Cooking Tips
To easily juice grapefruit, roll it firmly on the counter before cutting. This helps break down the membranes inside.
Grapefruit can be grilled or broiled for a caramelized sweetness. Cut in half, sprinkle with a little sugar or honey, and heat until tender.
The pith (the white, bitter part between the rind and the flesh) can be removed for a less bitter flavor.

Common Mistakes
