Grapefruit hypothesis

Grapefruit is absolutely disgusting and probably poisonous to consume. Who here actually enjoys eating the abomination frankencitrus and who finds it to be the worst fruit known to exist? Asking for science ofc. :upside_down_face:

Can’t eat grapefruit due to medications that I am on. Which is fine since I prefer tangerines.

Tangerines are delicious :d every single grapefruit anything I’ve ever tried has been bitter for me. But a friend of mine insists they are tasty. :crazy_face:

Oranges also make me go bleh… How do you people eat those acidic fruits?

I tend to find them more of a sweet tang rather than acidic. I guess my taste buds are wired a little different than yours or I have more pleasant memories associated with the flavor.

that’s the science part. Apparently more bitter receptors are genetic. I think I have a lot more of them. inb4 ā€˜that explains everything’ Lol!

Acidic isnt a taste, and that tang you taste is the acid. Welcome to the world of citric acid. The only thing that stuff is good for is cleaning.

And killing the ā€œkickā€ in your alcohol.

I like Grapefruit, then again I also love Vegemite :yum:

When the pink grapefruit is in season it’s like eating candy it’s so delicious! and what’s fabulous nowadays is that you buy it peeled for you in the grocery store.

I like ā€œgrapefruitā€ flavored things–which taste nothing like real grapefruit to me.

Me, too. But since I’m one of those who thinks the fruits are nasty (unless you dump at least a full cup of sugar on them), I don’t feel like I’m missing anything.

Grapefruit is good for you and a great breakfast fruit.
