Here in Florida, we know our citrus. I have a grapefruit tree and an orange tree in the backyard. Neighbors have lemons, tangerines and kumquats. There’s plenty of citrus for everybody, and it is good! Our oranges are super sweet and juicy. So when I was approached to try a new ‘brand’ of grapefruit, Wonderful Sweet Scarletts’, a red Texas grapefruit, I was a little bit skeptical. I mean, how could Texas grapefruit be better than the juicy pink ones in my own Florida backyard???
When I eat a grapefruit off my tree, I liberally sprinkle it with sugar. It goes from being super healthy to a tasty, sugary treat. So imagine my surprise when I ate my first Wonderful Sweet Scarlett and put NO sugar on it! Not one tiny little grain! These grapefruits simply do not need extra sweetness. They are deliciously sweet, while still maintaining that unique grapefruit taste.
This is healthy eating at its very best. Did you know that half of one of these grapefruits contains your entire recommended daily Vitamin C? They’re naturally fat, cholesterol and sodium free and only about 60 calories.
Wonderful Sweet Scarletts – a new brand of Texas Red Grapefruits – launched nationwide just a few months ago and will change the way you think about grapefruits! This great product comes from the people who brought you Wonderful Pistachios, POM Wonderful and Wonderful Halos, and they are offering one lucky Coupondipity reader a great gift basket that includes our Wonderful Sweet Scarletts Texas Red Grapefruit, recipe cards featuring our grapefruit, a grapefruit spoon, circular cutting board, grapefruit bowl, apron, and juicer.

I love red grapefruits. It’s a staple in my kitchen. I have a half in the morning and half before dinner.
I like to cut it in half sprinkle some sugar, grab a spoon and it just like that.
I love eating them with peanut butter.
So refreshing, any time of the day.
The sweet scarletts sound awsome,
I would love, love, love to try them <3
As a kid we used to eat it straight from the rind with a serrated spoon. Now we primarily enjoy it in juice form.
With my Dad, no one else liked grapefruit.
I like to eat grapefruit plain.
I like it cut in half with some sugar sprinkled on top!
I suggest you write such sorts of posts daily to give the audience enjoy me all of the necessary information. In my opinion,
it’s better to be prepared for all the unexpected scenarios beforehand,
so thanks, it was fairly cool.
