CITRUS

Grapefruit .  The grapefruit is a large orange-like fruit that belongs to the citrus family. It is somehow a "new" addition to the family, deriving from a natural cross-breeding between orange and pomelo. It is called grapefruit simply because it grows in clusters, like grapes. . Description: The fruit is nearly round to slightly pear-shaped. It has a smooth, finely dotted peel with a pale yellow colour, sometimes blushed with pink and aromatic outwardly. The pale-yellow, nearly whitish, or pink, or even deep-red pulp is segmented with thin, membranous, and bitter walls, which is very juicy.
