Grapefruit, May 20th, 2008

Brand: Texas Sweet (Healds Valley Farms)
Growth location: Texas
Bought in: Food Lion

This bag is not going well. While the first grapefruit was tasty, the second proved displeasing. Some slices were bland, some hard and chunky, and, most damningly, one was so strangely firm that I was scared away from eating the whole slice. However, I enjoyed some of the slices. They were, like the previous fruit from this bag, sweet and juicy, though lacking any real zest or joy.

There is no life in these grapefruits, but they are better than last week's fruit. I wonder if Texas's obsession with the reddest fruit possible has bred out any real greatness from the Red Star type.
