How Do You Like Your Grapefruit>>>>

Snowqueen @snowqueen200802 (1463) • United States 25 May 10

I put them in the refrigerator for a couple of day, because I like them cold. then I cut them in halve and add a little sugar on top of each one and eat. How do you like your Grapefruit? Take care Snow

subearthancottage That's how I eat mine, too. I try to use a very little bit of sugar to keep it from becoming more of a dessert than a healthy snack. Straight grapefruit is usually a little too tart for my taste, though.
