The most popular varieties are White Grapefruit, Pink Grapefruit and Ruby Red Grapefruit and they have varying degrees of seeds and sweetness. Grapefruits come in many varieties determined by color, which is caused by citrus pigmentation.
Grapefruits are harvested all year long, with fruit beginning to ripen in late fall and early winter and continuing to ripen through the summer. Pomelo Pomelo, an ancestor of the grapefruit, is the largest of the citrus fruits, sometimes growing to the size of a basketball.
