Grapefruits Star Ruby O.T.

Grapefruit is a great addition to any healthy diet. Their sweet and tangy flavor makes them a favorite for breakfast fruit and summer snacks. Not everyone enjoys the characteristic bitterness of these juicy citrus fruits, however, and many opt to sprinkle a little sugar on top to balance it out. But there is one variety of grapefruit that needs no additional sugar – the Rio Red grapefruit tree produces the sweetest grapefruits around.

Less popular as a raw fruit due to its tart, slightly bitter flavor, it can be used to flavor fruit salads, fruit cocktails, freshly squeezed fruit juice blends, lemonades, and teas. Due to its high vitamin C content and other biologically valuable nutrients, its citric acid content greatly improves appetite.
