Grapefruit, May 16, 2008

Brand: Red Star
Growth location: Texas
Bought in: Food Lion

Another day brings another sub par grapefruit from Red Star. Much like the last, this one failed to hold together in slices when pulled apart, but at least it had an OK flavor to it. The fruit was on the sweet side, but the flavor was, overall, a bit muted. A slight earthiness was occasionally discernible. The inexplicable oiliness and awful odor of yesterday's experience were thankfully not present. It could have been much worse, but I've had much better grapefruits.

This has been a disappointing two days, following the wonderful Trader Joe's organic one I ate on Wednesday. Maybe it's time to give Red Star a rest.
