It's the season to eat grapefruit. In some places, you can buy three or four large grapefruits for ten yuan, which are heavy, thin-skinned and fleshy, sweet and sour. Each grapefruit meat is a small water bomb, and the juice splashes in the mouth, like a watermelon eaten in summer, quenching thirst and enjoying.
Grapefruit is a very patient plant. Other fruits may also be patient, but because of the large size of the grapefruit, it feels more obvious. In March and April, white, purple flowers bloom, first bear a long time of flower buds, a tree is dotted, the buds are tight and solid, and even think that it is not a flower but a fruit, so after a while, suddenly a few days have bloomed, although the flowers are very small, but look at the texture of the petals, I think there will be a sound when they bloom, "snap" a little.
The open flower will stay quietly in the branches for a while, waiting until the person relaxes his "vigilance" and does not pay attention for a few days, it has begun to bear small green fruits.
This small fruit has been fruiting for a long time, and it has not changed for a long time, but in August and September, you will find that there seems to be a group of green oranges on the grapefruit tree, and it will grow again after two or three weeks. Then there is another "silent period", the size of the grapefruit is fixed, only the grapefruit skin has a slight change, to go greener and greener, green to oily, green and oil hanging on the tree every day, thinking about how to cook it so green, and then, in October, November, I have to eat grapefruit one after another.
Scratch the peel, break a layer, like the sound of pulling the cloth, and then break the pulp, with a little force, want the peel to be completely connected to the flesh, it is unlikely. Then tear the skin of the petals, to know whether a grapefruit is delicious or not, this step basically knows. Look, you can see, dry, usually no taste; touch, touch, touch with the back of your hand, a little close to the hand, moist, the taste is not bad, this has to rely on the feel of personal experience. It's really not okay, eat it with your mouth, take a bite.
Delicious grapefruit have their own delicious, most of the unpalatable grapefruit are dry and unhydrated, eating like chewing ice slag, but it may not be the whole way, there are a few petals like this, there are a few petals with a particularly sweet and sour juice full of water, delicious enough to endure another clove dry.
Yuzu has a yellow heart and a red heart, and there is a kind of purple red in the red heart, this kind of flesh is not all a color, some are purple-red silk, bored to look closely, feel a little scary. No kind of heart is guaranteed to taste good.
When you encounter sour grapefruit, if you don't want to waste it, in addition to eating it with white sugar, you can also add salt and paprika, mix it and eat it, and when you taste it, you can still eat a few bites. This way of eating is suitable for sour but full of juice, if it is dry, add sugar to pick up is not used, open the next one as soon as possible.
