In the selection process of grapefruit, many people have a misunderstanding, that is, it is better to choose round grapefruit. However, in fact, when choosing grapefruit, pointed grapefruit is the better choice. The following is explained from multiple angles.
First, observe the appearance of grapefruit.
High-quality grapefruit usually has a smooth and neat appearance with no noticeable depressions, breakages, or spots. The skin of the grapefruit should be even and shiny, without noticeable wrinkles or uneven color. This applies to both pointed and round grapefruit. As long as the appearance meets these standards, it can be considered high-quality grapefruit.
Second, smell the smell of grapefruit.
Fresh grapefruit usually gives off a delicate smell, while non-fresh or poor-quality grapefruit may have a musty or off-smelling smell. When you lift the grapefruit, close to your nose and smell it gently, if you can smell the fresh scent of grapefruit, then this grapefruit is most likely fresh. Whether it is a pointed or round grapefruit, as long as it smells fragrant, it can be regarded as fresh grapefruit.
Third, feel the elasticity of grapefruit.
When you gently press the grapefruit, the skin of the grapefruit should have a certain elasticity and be able to quickly return to its original shape. The same applies to pointed and round grapefruit. As long as the skin is elastic, it can be considered fresh grapefruit.
Fourth, weigh the weight of the grapefruit.
The weight of a grapefruit is usually related to the amount of its pulp. When you hold the grapefruit in your hand, you feel that the grapefruit is relatively heavy, which often means that the flesh of the grapefruit is fuller. The same applies to pointed and round grapefruit. As long as the weight is moderate, it can be regarded as a grapefruit with plump flesh.
5. Observe the navel of grapefruit.
If you see a grapefruit with a round, plump navel and a sunken opening, this grapefruit tends to be more delicious. The same applies to pointed and round grapefruit. As long as the navel is full, it can be regarded as a delicious grapefruit.
6. The shape of grapefruit.
When buying grapefruit, many people have a misconception, that is, they think that round grapefruit is better. They believe that round grapefruit is fuller and has more flesh. But in fact, pointed grapefruit is a better choice. Pointed grapefruit has a thin skin, and is more fleshful, juicy and delicious. Pointed grapefruit has thinner skin than round grapefruit, which means you will enjoy the taste of the flesh more when tasting grapefruit, rather than being disturbed by overly thick skin.
To sum up, when selecting grapefruit, it is not necessary to be limited to the shape, but should consider multiple factors such as appearance, smell, elasticity, weight, and navel. As long as the grapefruit meets the criteria for high-quality grapefruit in these aspects, whether it is pointed or round, it can be regarded as a good grapefruit with thin skin and flesh. Therefore, on the next time you buy grapefruit, remember not to miss those pointed grapefruit that do not seem too round, they may give you a better taste experience.
