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 recently teamed up with actress, author, and host of The Real Girl’s Kitchen on Cooking Channel, Haylie Duff, and she has shared some “wonderful” recipes using Sweet Scarletts. Click here for these great recipes!

We love anything that the Wonderful company produces! The pistachios, the Pomegranate stuff – so the grapefruit is wonderful I’m sure! I like grapefruit juice in the morning. I bet these would make awesome juice!
I cut it up in a huge bowl and put it in the fridge. Within 3 days it’s gone because my kids just gobble it down. Healthiest snack there is!
My favorite way to eat grapefruit is to cut it in half, sprinkle a little sugar on it, and scoop it out! Yum!
I like to eat them plain!
looks really delicious and you have an abundant grapefruit
