Ruby Red Grapefruit

They say they can be a problem with certain meds, though I don't take any meds.
That said, I eat more oranges than GF.
I thought it was worth reposting.
It's a nice pic I took, IMHO.

I miss Ruby Red Squirt. I don’t remember if it tasted any different that regular squirt.

Texas had a severe freeze back in 80's and they replanted with several great red varieties. This year the freeze also got them, but now lots of the Rio Star brand was juiced. I drink it like mad. It turns out that grapefruit keeps a certain enzyme that clears meds out of body. Result is your meds can get stronger. I never found any drug I take to be affected.

I peel them by hand then skin the segments.

I really like oro blancos.. but regular red grapefruit can be quite tasty too.

The red and Rio star varieties are really sweet. The old yellow stuff from the 60's was very bitter.

I much prefer grapefruit from Texas over the Florida stuff.

Love Squirt but not supposed to with my meds. I sneak one on occasion.

I love ruby red grapefruit. My lemon tree bears also grapefruit.

I love red grapefruit. It's supposed to be contraindicated if you're taking statins, maybe some other meds as well. I take a statin, but I'll still enjoy an occasional grapefruit. Don't indulge too often, though.

I used to use grapefruit to test image quality on mammography xray machines. Washed it up and ate it next morning.

How about Diet Squirt, since I stopped drinking pop years ago diet squirt is the only one that taste good to me. I actually stumbled on it because I love margaritas but can't have all the sugar from the mix so I tried diet squirt, more of a Paloma I guess rather than margarita but works for me.

Thanks but grapefruit juice is not good for statins.
