The grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi) is
a subtropical citrus tree known for its relatively large sour
to semisweet, somewhat bitter fruit. The interior flesh is segmented and varies in color from
white to yellow to pink to red.
Grapefruit is a citrus hybrid originating
in Barbados as an accidental cross between
the sweet orange (C. sinensis) and
the pomelo or shaddock (C. maxima), both of
which were introduced from Asia in the 17th
century.
When found, it was called the forbidden fruit .
In the past it was referred to as the pomelo, but
that term is now the common name for
the pomelo (Citrus maxima), which is also called
the pummelo.
