Don’t judge a grapefruit by its skin – Don’t let the blemishes on the skin of Florida grapefruit fool you though, these “sun kisses” have no affect on the quality or taste of the fruit and are a unique characteristic of citrus fruit from Florida, caused by tree limbs gently touching young maturing fruit as the trees gently sway in the tropical winds

Ready to eat – Florida grapefruit are fully ripe when they are picked, so they are fresh and juicy and ready to eat right from the produce aisles

Yellow skin – When choosing a grapefruit, look for one that has yellow skin that may even have a tinge of pink, white orange or green
