Never underestimate
the power of citrus fruit.

Texas Red Grapefruit are sweet, juicy and tree-ripened, literally stored on the tree to peak of perfection. Loaded with vitamin C and Vitamin A, they are rich in nutrients, antioxidants and fiber, making it one of the healthiest citrus fruit you can eat.
These sugar sweet beauties thrive and grow the best in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.
My brother, who lives in Texas, sent them to us for Christmas from Pittman & Davis. They are so delicious. Once you have had a sweet Ruby Red, it is hard to go back to a sour or bitter grapefruit.
Nice on Black.
They have an interesting history below if interested:
What a marvelous gift! We have a blood orange tree that surpasses all others, so I get it! We also have a regular grapefruit tree which is good with some sugar...or with vodka to make a Greyhound!
@louannwarren Yes! I thought of you when I posted this pic. My dad and his family are from Texas. My parents used to order them delivered every Christmas to California. Now, my brother orders them for me and my son's family. My mom would also order a fruit cake bar from Texas that was the only fruit cake I liked. I should try to look it up again and see if they are still in business.
@Weezilou Hello, Louise. There is nothing like a Texas Ruby Red grapefruit...no sugar necessary. I squeeze and drink the juice after I eat the sections. I love citrus and ate, singlehandedly, 19 pounds of mandarins oranges from the mandarin farm...trying to get my vitamin C to ward off illnesses at this time of year. We also have a Meyer lemon tree too! Must be nice to have a grapefruit tree in your own backyard. :)
These are so delicious! No sugar necessary. thank you!
