Grapefruit is an accidental cross between the sweet orange and pomelo. It was first documented in 1750 by Welshman Rev. Griffith Hughes. These days Grapefruit is noted for its citrusy taste and rich source of antioxidants. The name “grapefruit” is attributed to the fruits growing in clusters which resemble those of grapes. Grapefruit is known for its energising, invigorating and uplifting aroma and is also renowned for its strong citrus and fruity flavour.
