slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/13 poll - Pink vs Yellow Grapefruit

[slo]

Grapefruit is such a refreshing fruit to eat in the morning. It’s also is a really nice juice to have with breakfast. Don’t get me wrong, grapefruit is enjoyable anytime of the day, but for many, grapefruit gets most its love in the mornings. Today we are talking pink vs yellow grapefruit. Several people feel very strongly about which one they like best. So give us your sweet/sour answer today……

Which color grapefruit do you like?
Which color grapefruit juice do you like?
(multiple choice)

*Poll error - I shouldn’t have put equally after the options for liking both pink and yellow. Unfortunately, I can’t change the poll after someone makes a selection. I like both, but I don’t like them both equally. So, if you like both, pretend the word equally isn’t there. Thanks!


For Me……Unfortunately, I can’t eat grapefruit anymore with my UC, but when I could, I always preferred pink grapefruits and pink grapefruit juice. I do enjoy yellow too and would never turn down yellow grapefruits, or the juice, as long as I have some sugar to put on it or in it. I still can drink grapefruit juice, but I rarely drink any juice now.

Can’t have grapefruit! Wouldn’t have the juice anyway, but I did love pink or Ruby red grapefruit.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I don't really do grapefruit. Every now and then if the mood ever strikes me, it has to be pink.

Growing up, we really only got yellow grapefruit. I’ve only had pink a few times and I don’t mind it but when I buy, I usually buy yellow. I don’t even know why. Tradition, I guess!

Just a grapefruit walk down memory lane:
Mommy cutting fruit thru the “equator”, covering top with brown sugar with a maraschino cherry in the center then into the broiler. Been donkey years since I had that. Oh and I seem to recall Indian River was the preferred variety.

 

[jo-jo]

Never really like grapefruit. Haven't tried it in years.

Never liked the taste of grapefruit regardless of the color. Tastes way too sour to me, just don't care for them.

 

[Micca]

Not a fan, the fruit or the juice. The only exception is the grapefruit cake at the Brown Derby at DHS.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I like the pink more than the yellow, but like both. However, can't have it because of the statin medicine I take. So no grapefruit. And I do recall the names Ruby Red and also Indian River.

 

[Meriweather]

Can't have it anymore because of one of my medications

We used to have two ancient Duncan grapefruit trees in our yard. They are a yellow variety, but huge and sweet like a pink grapefruit. They were the best grapefruit I ever ate.

From the grocery I tend to get pink, because they are usually sweeter than the yellow varieties the store sells. I also usually end up with pink grapefruit juice, as it is more common so it goes on sale more often, but will drink either color.

 

[Moliphino]

I'm not a grapefruit fan. I never eat the fruit and only have the juice in cocktails (mostly Palomas).

 

[TippyThomas]

Tried it once, hated it, and never put myself through that again.

Grapefruit was a imported treat for us and my Grandma did them that way too. Good memories.

I love grapefruit and will eat either pink or yellow, but if I have a choice I would take pink. And, pink is usually what I find in the grocery store as well. Growing up we would sprinkle a bit of sugar on it, but I don't think it needs that anymore.

I don't drink grapefruit juice like from bottled juice, but of course I will squeeze the juice from the actual grapefruit half I've just eaten into my spoon and consume that!

 

[Skywalker3]

ooh, I never eat grapefruit. My mom used to love it.

 

[sarahann77]

I put both but realizing that I'm not sure I've had many yellow grapefruits as I see the picture of the juice. Ultimately I'm rather indifferent but I mostly have had pink perhaps.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I enjoy grapefruit and will buy either when it's on sale. I cut it in half and eat it with a little sugar sprinkled on. I even have a special grapefruit spoon with the little edges.

I rarely buy any kind of juice - but if I was going to, the color wouldn't matter.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I prefer pink grapefruit, but will eat both. I don't usually drink grapefruit juice but will pick pink over white if I have a choice.

 

[hertamaniac]

The only way for me to eat grapefruit is to order a slice of grapefruit cake from The Hollywood Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios. It's so good!
