Never thought I would like grapefruit...

[NetWareHead]

I haven't had grapefruit since I was a kid. Always thought it was the bad tasting bitter member of the citrus family. Recently my gf had me try some and despite my objections, I decided to give it a shot. I was surprised...its not as bitter as I remember it. Actually its rather good, especially with some sugar sprinkled on top. But even without sugar, its still tasty.

I figure if I can drink bitter IPA beers (especially the extra hoppy ones) & espresso/turkish coffee with out sugar, then grapefruits shouldn't be too far out of my league. Now that I'm older and more health minded, grapefruits are loaded with good things for your body....so I'll continue eating them.

It's my favorite citrus. I peel them, and eat like an orange, but the sub-skin is a PITA to get off.

I don't like eating them but I love grapefruit juice.

Grapefruits are horrid and even with sugar they are barely edible.

You're doing it wrong.
Open each "envelope" and eat the "meat" inside. Don't ear the shell dividers.

This. Actually I think it's the white ones that are bitter. The pink ones are more sour.

Grapefruit enjoyment depends heavily on the quality of it. A friend of mine has a tree and those are freaking awesome. Sweet and tangy with thin skins. Best I've ever had.

I also like grapefruit juice...the kind with no sugar added though.

An unripe grapefruit is comprable eating a green pear.

Good grapefruit is extremely tasty. It's a bit on the sour / bitter side compared to oranges, but overall excellent.

Bad grapefruit is somewhat of a painful experience. They're edible with sugar or some other kind of sweetener, but overall not enjoyable.

Some are bitter, others are sweet. Sometimes I actually crave the bitter ones more.

Pro tip: All fruits and vegetables have seasons. Early spring isn't the season for grapefruit.

Grocery store chains have totally screwed the American consumer. "But we just stock what customers want!" Bull. Customers buy what's available. If they didn't sell green fruit, gassed tomatoes or, hydroponic vegetables, people might actually like food more.
