Grapefruits are easy compared to grapes. What's the best way of peeling grapes?
Lettuce is a biatch too.

You need to get a Grapefruit knife. Doesn't everybody have one of these?

Still have the pith problem though.
I buy my grapefruit for the week on Monday and they seem to get easier to peel as the week goes on. Something to do with them ripening / losing their hardness perhaps?

Alternatively you may think I sound like Wilmslow or have too much time on my hands.

Are you taking the pith with that post? Even by your low standards!

How to peel a grapefruit
I've started earning grapefruit for breakfast.
Now, I j.ow the traditional way to eat grapefruit is to slice it in half and scoop the flesh out with a teaspoon (I actually have a proper grapefruit spoon - like a teaspoon but with a serrated edge). But I want to peel mine and break it up into segments to mix with Jordans Crunchie.
The problem is removing the pith. Is there a trick I'm missing.g here? Perhaps it's like most supermarket fruit and not ripe enough (cf. my brown banana thread).Last edited by pacharan; 31 May 2012, 13:46.Tags: None
