I Love Grapefru

Sooner — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 23:00:54 GMT

I know a lot of you can't eat them, and I'm sure many don't like them, but I am a big grapefruit fan and they have been good recently--from Walmart!

And, I can't just eat one half. I have to eat them both with a little salt on top!

Any other grapefruit lovers out there?

Me too, I prefer the red variety.

@Sooner I like salt on my grapefruit, too. It is much better than sugar. Unfortunately, my acid reflux stopped my enjoyment.

@Sooner. My parents adored grapefruit with salt. They ate one every day while they were in season. I often had a basket sent to them from Florida as a Christmas gift.

I like them but take a statin which makes them incompatible.

I like both grapefruit and also grapefruit juice. I like to take a grapefruit and cut it in half and then sprinkle some Splenda on it and cover it with plastic wrap. I do this the night before I'm going to eat it and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. My husband and I usually share it.

I once had a co-worker whose parents would spend the winter in Florida and they would send her a big basket of grapefruit. She always gave me a few of them because she said she couldn't finish the entire basket. They were absolutely the best grapefruit that I had ever had. I was sorry when her parents stopped wintering in Florida.

I never found any in my local stores that could even compare to those directly from Florida.

I like the taste of grapefruit very much, but to my body it is non-acceptable and is purged ASAP.

I grew up with a White Marsh seedless tree in the back yard. Sections were so big you could eat them with a regular teaspoon!

Pick, Cut, Salt and Enjoy!

They don't agree with me now! I love them!

When I was a kid, the white flesh variety was common and the pink/red ones were unusual. These days it's the other way around. I can't remember the last time I saw a white grapefruit.

I used to eat grapefruit all the time until I became more mindful about my sugar intake.

@Kachina624 Darn! I used to have cousins in Florida. And I'm lucky because the statin I take (does anyone NOT take them?) doesn't have issues with grapefruit.

If anyone wants my share of grapefruit, you can have it.

I am not big on eating a lot of fruit and especially not grapefruit.

Ohhhh, pucker up, they're too sour for me.

I love grapefruit. Here's my problem:

Here are examples of some types of drugs that grapefruit juice can cause problems (interact) with: Some statin drugs to lower cholesterol, such as Zocor (simvastatin) and Lipitor (atorvastatin). Some drugs that treat high blood pressure, such as Procardia and Adalat CC (both nifedipine).Jul 1, 2021

Mmmm. Paloma cocktail of grapefruit juice, tequila and lime. I like over crushed or shaved ice.

I also like Ocean Spray Diet Ruby Red Grapefuit drink if i have to be good with my blood sugar.

Broiled grapefruit halves with brown sugar ( or splenda brown sugar)... divine.

I had to give up Minute Maid Orange Juice. Guess it's the acid. Made my stomach upset, growl, growl.

Making all kinds of noises.

Like their peach juice better anyway. Bright and Early I can drink, but, MM Orange had me sick.

Hi, @Sooner ! I love grapefruit, too, but for me, I like to eat them like an orange, no sugar, no salt, just grapefruit.

Adore it and growing up always needed a bit of sugar. Now I do not need to put anything on the fruit. Just scrape the rind clean.

I can't eat grapefruit due to my taking a statin. However, since I was never much of a fan, I don't really miss it. However, before I was taking a statin, I did, on occasion, eat a pink grapefruit with a bit of sugar. White grapefruit is just to sour for my taste buds.
