How to choose red grapefruit to eat?
1, look at the shape
First of all, we need to observe the shape of grapefruit to see if it is pointed or round. Many people think that the sharp part of the pulp will be less, so they always buy round-headed grapefruit. Actually, this is not right.
The correct choice method should be pointed, and the one with a pointed tip and a round bottom is the most suitable. This kind of water is richer and the peel is thinner. The particularly round one is actually quite thick and uneconomical.
2. Look at the bottom of grapefruit
After looking at the shape, let's look at the bottom of the grapefruit and see what state it is. If the bottom of grapefruit is sunken, then don't choose this kind of grapefruit, which has thick skin, less pulp and bad taste.
The correct way to choose is to choose the one with a full bottom and no obvious depression, which is plump and juicy.
3. Try the weight.
We should choose the heavier grapefruit with the same variety and similar size, because the heavier grapefruit has more juice, higher water content and better natural taste. If it is a stale grapefruit, the moisture in it is definitely low, and it will naturally be very light. It is not recommended to buy this kind.
Step 4 look at the color
When buying grapefruit, look at the color. We want to buy a yellow grapefruit, not a green one. Yellow grapefruit, with high maturity, is definitely more delicious than green immature grapefruit.
Feel the luster of the grapefruit again. If it is shiny, it means fresh. If it feels dull and rough, it means that it has been left for a long time and is not fresh. Purchase is not recommended.
5. Press the pomelo peel to see the density.
Press the pomelo peel with your fingers. If it is not easy to press, it means that the pulp is tight, and it is a high-quality pomelo with "thin skin and big stuffing", high moisture and high sweetness. On the contrary, it is easy to press out of the pit, indicating that grapefruit is "thick skin and less stuffing" and its quality is poor.
Which variety of grapefruit with red heart is the best?
