Grapefruit each
Our Grapefruit has that thick, fragrant peel and juicy segments that hit somewhere between tart and sweet, with a slightly bitter edge that wakes you up first thing in the morning. Part of our Fresh Fruits range, each one is chosen for its weight, a good sign of a juicy fruit, and firm, unblemished skin.

Grapefruit is juicy and tangy, with a bittersweet edge that's distinctly its own among citrus fruits. The segments are firm but burst with liquid when bitten, and the flavour mellows slightly the closer you get to the centre of the fruit.

Storage Guide
Grapefruit keeps well at room temperature for about a week, or up to three weeks in the fridge. Storing it in the fridge tends to keep it juicier for longer, especially in warmer months.
How to Choose a Good Grapefruit
Choose fruit that feels heavy for its size, a sign of higher juice content, with smooth, firm skin. Avoid grapefruit with soft spots, deep wrinkles, or a dull, lifeless colour.
Seasonal Availability
Grapefruit is typically at its best through the winter and into early spring.
