Grapefruit is the
citrus fruit of the grapefruit tree (
Citrus × paradisi), an 18th-century
hybrid first bred in
Barbados. The fruit is yellow-orange skinned and largely an
oblate spheroid; it grows to about 10–15 cm (4–6 in) in diameter. The flesh is segmented and
acidic, varying in color depending on the
cultivars, which include white, pink and red pulps of varying sweetness (Ruby Red variety shown here).
