Why don’t we eat oranges like grapefruit?

9 comments

1. Grapefruits are generally a lot larger and harder to peel than oranges.

2. The membrane / skin around the juice segments in grapefruit are very bitter so I usually peel that off when I eat grapefruit. In oranges the taste is barely noticeable so I have no issue eating it as a whole.

3. Why do you do that with grapefruit?

   I cut them both the same to eat. Easier than than peeling

4. That’s exactly how I eat an orange…

5. My kids do with big oranges.

6. With a large non-easy-peeler orange my preferred technique is to cut into quarters then go face first into the flesh.

7. Because they’re repulsive! Can’t stand them, but love oranges

8. Because I don’t eat grapefruit, it’s not fit for human consumption

9. Grapefruit is the best. I do various methods cutting them up. I do like the Sunday league wedge method mostly.
