The best way to eat fresh grapefruit is to segment it carefully and then scoop out the sections with a teaspoon.
Here's a breakdown of how to easily enjoy a grapefruit:
- Prepare the Grapefruit: Cut the grapefruit in half.
- Segment the Grapefruit: Use a knife to carefully cut along the inside of each section, separating the fruit from the membrane. Be sure to remove all the membrane for each segment. This ensures minimal bitterness.
- Scoop and Enjoy: Once all segments are separated, use a teaspoon to scoop out and eat the individual grapefruit sections. The first couple of segments might be a little trickier to remove, but it gets easier.
