Grapefruit
The most delicious of the world’s grapefruit varieties, Texas Red Grapefruit ripens to perfect sweetness on the tree. This tropical fruit is nurtured in the Rio Grande Valley, where soil and climate allow citrus to attain the highest possible quality. The original red grapefruit was found in the Valley more than 70 years ago growing on a pink grapefruit tree. Named the Ruby Red, this naturally sweet discovery earned Texas the reputation of raising the world’s finest grapefruit. Today Texas produces two trademarked categories of red grapefruit – Ruby-Sweet and Rio Star. Both have red interiors and a rosy blush on the peel. Texas Red Grapefruit was named one of Saveur Magazine’s Top 100 Favorites for 2002.
