- SeasonOctober – April
- OriginEgypt
There's nothing quite like a delicious grapefruit. This tangy citrus fruit is famous for its aromatic fragrance, but its flavour is often underappreciated. When grapefruits are ripe, they taste as sweet as oranges — it is a misconception that grapefruits are always on the sour side. It is named grapefruit because it grows in bunches, like grapes. This variety of Egyptian grapefruit has an orange shape in a bright-orange skin with a red blush.
