“Grapefruit is a natural manifestation, the combination of the sweet orange Citrus sinensis and the orange, pomelo Citrus maxima, the latter having a slightly pungent taste like grapefruit, but a little sweeter. The resulting product, the grapefruit, originally called “the forbidden fruit,” (for reasons unclear) is a delightful blending of these two oranges. With the Mexican agricultural industry becoming a powerhouse in global grapefruit cultivation, why not try your hand at a citrus cake in celebration?”
