Grapefruit, May 26th, 2008

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

File this one under "plain grapefruit." Nothing noteworthy came to me in this grapefruit, just a general citrus flavor and no real problems. It had an average quantity of seeds, did not taste of unpalatable earthiness, and held together reasonably well.

If a grapefruit is going to land somewhere between "good" and "bad," I would at least hope for something intense in its flavor, but no, this one was balanced in sweetness and tart, with both flavors mellow. A great grapefruit should be both intensely sweet and intensely tart; this was as average as they come.

Grade: C
