Why Segment a Grapefruit?
What a lot of people don't know is that grapefruit is not sour! Well, naturally it is a bit tart, but it is not supposed to be unenjoyable sour. It is only this way because of the rind -- which should be removed through segmentation. It seemed daunting to me at first, but it was actually incredibly easy and fast! The segmentation process is actually why I wasn't consuming grapefruit for a long while, but now I am hooked on these Texas Red's! I had learned how to do it when I attended Matthew Kenney Culinary, but the chef that had demonstrated it during the class overcomplicated things. What I hope to deliver to you today is an easy and approachable segmentation method that will allow you to enjoy grapefruit more often, especially right now as it is at it's peak!
My Favorite Grapefruit Variety
I have tried both Texas Red is hands down my favorite variety. I actually have a grapefruit tree in my garden but ironically enough, it is the white variety :/ Texas Reds are slightly sweeter than the white because of their growing location (soil and temperature) and are what I recommend!
Seasonality & Availability
Texas Red grapefruit are in season Jan-Mar, so NOW is the time to get your hands on some. If you're in the US they actually have these Texas Reds from Winter Sweetz at Wal Mart through April:)
An overwhelming YES on my Instagram post last week + the fact that I scarfed these babies down in almost one day brought me to the conclusion that these must be shared on my blog!
