We can also select high quality grapefruit from the aspects of eye view, proportion and hand feeling. If the skin of grapefruit is fine and clean, the surface oil cells are translucent, and the color is light yellow or orange, it means that grapefruit has high maturity, juicy and sweet taste. The thickness of grapefruit peel determines the sweetness and moisture content of grapefruit. For grapefruit of the same size, choose the one with heavy weight.

Secondly, touch the smoothness of grapefruit peel by hand. When pressing hard, it is not easy to press, indicating that the bag is tight and of good quality. If the individual is large and light, the rough pomelo skin is thick and less meat, and the taste is not good.

In addition, grapefruit is wide at the top and wide at the bottom, and flat at the bottom. It is better to choose grapefruit with short neck and flat bottom; it can also be squeezed by hand, which is not easy to press, indicating that the flesh is tight, and the meat is sweet and tender. The top tip and the bottom width are the standard types of grapefruit, among which the grapefruit with flat round shape and short neck is better (the bottom is the plane is better). This is because the grapefruit with a long neck has less flesh and skin.
