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.
Most California grapefruit are harvested in late summer and fall, the shoulder season before the Texas Ruby Reds arrive in stores. Grapefruitâs early harvest spared the 2013 crop from last weekâs frost scare, when overnight temperatures dipped into the low 20s in many California citrus orchards.
