Did you ever stop to think for a moment "have I been doing this wrong all my life?" then search online and think "someone probably made a video about it"?
This is it. Thanks.

This video is great! The presenter does a great job outlining each option with the pluses and minuses of each approach! I learned alot and I hold red seal papers in cooking!

The pro method for me! Was taught this in college- I was a home economics major, it was all about the presentation. Pink grapefruit with avocados on a lettuce leaf with red onion and Catalina dressing ( just a drizzle) is delicious! Miss my pink grapefruit tree in AZ.

I'm ordering a grapefruit spoon after watching your video. Thank you kindly!

Thank you! This helped after trying and failing to eat a grapefruit. They are so messy to eat if you don't do it right

Literally my new favorite fruit. I'm 33 and finally learned how to do it right lol! I like the last method. I couldn't believe how easily the meat of the fruit came out! Wow delicious💛

I'm glad you showed us the pro method. I've never seen it before. Growing up I ate them like your dad ate his. As a teenager I saw a friend do the undress method and I thought she was crazy. It takes a long time and is messy. But it also tastes sweeter so I've eaten them that way since then. I'll now move to the pro method.

I had grapefruit for the first time today. I had no idea how to eat it, so i tried the conventional method like orange. Turns out the flesh contains bitter residue... I hated it...
Towards the ends I started leaving the membrane & eating just the flesh. Turns out it's a lovely fruit, as long as u know how to eat it

All 5 were wonderful! Thank you. Grapefruit is an amazing delicious fruit! As well as a cholesterol remover.😉

[iapples]

Thank you! I didn't know there was any way other than the first one! You have changed my life forever!!

[victorialove]

I love grapefruit. I usually eat it using method 1 and a grapefruit spoon. Method 5 is my favorite for presentation in salads etc.
Love this video.❤

Very informative for me as I am now worrying how to cut the pomelo that a kind soul gave to me. Thank you very much. Also, I find the body language going along with the instructions eloquently supportive and nice.

[jaytmartinez]

Very helpful; new techniques I never knew about. Thank you!

[anna]

Thank you, liked the options but think the last method, for me, the best. Quite quick and easy to eventually gobble the fruit, sliced and cleaned!

[raygokener]

Great video! My parents always did it like your dad. I was going to browse to see if there were a few different methods, but you covered several all in one video. Thanks 😊

[nickstasinos]

Happy New Year! I just tried this! The pro method is now my go-to method for eating grapefruit. I already cut other citrus fruits like that but, of course, no membrane. Thanks Erica!

[jennymoore]

I, see there are a lot of THANK, YOU 😊 WELL, here goes another one !! I am, sure you have made a lot of experiences with grapefruit much more enjoyable !! 😃

I grew up in Florida with an amazing grapefruit tree in the back yard and the Pro method is definitely the way to do it. My dad taught me when I was a kid.
Removing the sections can get juicy, so it's best to do that over a big bowl. You can also put aside your sharp knife and use a butter knife the flip the sections out.

[beckyshulda]

I will be sure to try methods 3 and 5. Thank you for beautifully clear instruction.
