It gives me gag reflex. I seriously spit it up before I can even get it swallowed. It's too bad, because my Dad has told me for years that grapefruit juice aids in weight loss. Oh well...gonna' have to rely on other things to drop the pounds...'cause it sure ain't happenin' with that nasty fruit! :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-68012934980043770462009-11-07T23:48:53.859-06:002009-11-07T23:48:53.859-06:00Oh, try again!

If I get a tart one I sprinkle just 1/2 tsp of sugar over the halves (1/4 each) and it makes a HUGE difference for only 7 calories.<br /><br />One of my fave breakfasts is whole wheat toast spread with gooey, melty peanut butter, with a grapefruit on the side. I think the flavors compliment each other so well.<br /><br />You can always just juice them.

Give it to a neighbor, or your husband, or the poor. I'd suggest you mail it to me, but it would freeze before it got here.<br /><br />Or here's a bad idea - let somebody win it! And mail them to them!<br /><br />I don't know, but do anything but actually eat food you hate.
