Of all winter fruits, grapefruit stands out for feeling less like the sad leftovers from better seasons and more like bright fresh fruit to put in your face. You can tell if your grapefruit is ripe by looking for fruit that has a slightly reddish peel, feels plump to the touch and bounces back when you gently squeeze it.
The very best way to eat grapefruit is with avocado and fish and green things, but here are tons of other recipes that are almost as good.

These look fantastic. Will definitely make several when ruby grapefruit are back in season down here.
I deeply live grapefruit so this is the kind of quality content I need.
FYI, the candied grapefruit peels (#18) are gorgeous but inedible (per Deb @ smitten kitchen herself). But never fear, never fear–her mixed citrus salad with feta and mint is one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. Like, right after pussy.
what noooooo. But also that salad looks amazing.
There is a way to do candied grapefruit peels that is gorgeous and edible! I think you have to boil them in like a million changes of water before boiling them in the sugar water, which gets the bitterness out. It does take a lot longer than doing candied orange peel though, and they’re still a bit bitter, so some may not like them, but it’s possible!
here for grapefruit tacos.
I mean, me too, but mostly because “grapefruit taco” is an even more delicious euphemism than “rubyfruit jungle.”
my hometown supplies texas with all things citrus so i was blessed enough to have fresh citrus plucked from my grandparents’ trees every winter. after a while though, you don’t know what to do with all the grapefruit so i’m so f*cking appreciative of this post! I know what to do with grapefruit now!
I’ve been waiting my whole life for this post. Grapefruit is one of my favorite things in all the world. God bless you.
Be very careful with grapefruit if you taken medication. That is a fact that is barely known. It can negate certain medications. Otherwise, YUM! I love grapefruit!
also, it can potentiate a lot of medications. you might want this, or you might not, but it’s always good to know, so you can, if necessary, adjust your dose/take extra precautions accordingly.
All of it looks great but I have one thing too add.
Grapefruit and yogurt popsicles, just make sure the yogurt is in the middle not the beginning or end.
