The traditional way of eating a grapefruit is to cut it in half (across the sections), use a knife to loosen the sections and eat it with a spoon, with or without sweetener. I enjoy peeling the grapefruit, splitting the sections apart and eating the sections without any sweetener. Choose grapefruit that are “heavy” and without any soft spots. Minor blemishes, like the ones shown in this photo, do not harm the quality of the fruit inside. See nutritional chart below.
