Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

November 4 - Grapefruit Selection Tips:

Good quality grapefruit will have smooth, firm and shiny skin. Pick fruit that is medium to large and heavy for its size. Most red or pink grapefruit will have a rich yellow coloring and a slight rose colored blush to the skin, while others will be yellow. Some varieties will "re-green" if they remain on the tree long enough. This means that color does not indicate ripeness, nor does it affect the flavor or quality of the fruit.

Avoid product that is soft, that has dull or wrinkled skin or with deep folds.
