Introduction
Grapefruit is a delicious citrus fruit with a wide range of health benefits. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it an excellent addition to any diet.
While grapefruit is a healthy food, it can be difficult to eat. The skin and pith (the white part of the peel) are bitter and can be hard to remove. The best way to eat grapefruit is to cut it properly so that you remove the bitter parts but still enjoy the sweet taste of the fruit.
Here are a few tips on how to cut grapefruit the right way:
1. Start by cutting off one end of the grapefruit so that you have a flat surface to work with.
2. Cut the grapefruit in half width-wise so that you have two semicircles.
3. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin and pith from each half of the grapefruit. Be sure to cut deep enough so that all of the bitter parts are removed but be careful not to cut into the flesh of the fruit.
4. Once the skin and pith are removed, you can either eat the grapefruit as is or cut it into slices or wedges for easier eating.
5. If you’re not going to eat the grapefruit right away, store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it.
The Tools You’ll Need
A grapefruit knife is the best tool for the job, but if you don’t have one, a paring knife will do. You’ll also need a cutting board and a bowl to catch the juice.
