Origin of Grapefruit
Grapefruit, its real name as we know it Pomelo (Citrus paradisi), belongs to the “Citrus” genus which includes the majority of citrus fruits. Citrus fruits are fruits covered with a peel, which have an acidic flavor and are divided into juicy segments containing seeds. Pomelo is a natural hybrid fruit between grapefruit (Citrus Maxima) and orange (Citrus Sinensis), it can be yellow, with a very bitter taste, or pink, with a sweet flavor. Pomelo would be the only citrus fruit not to come from Asia! Its origin dates back to the 18th century, in Barbados, and it was only at the end of the 19th century that this tasty fruit arrived in the United States, then in Europe around the 1940s. Pomela needs heat to ripen and is still harvested in the traditional way, by hand.
