Overview
Red flesh, bright colour, balanced taste
Egyptian red grapefruit has deep flesh colour and a balanced sweet-bitter taste. The short season, from November to January, fits winter retail programmes in Europe, the Gulf and the CIS.
We grade by count and pack in cartons or crates. Because flesh colour varies by lot, we share current lot photos before you confirm, instead of relying on catalogue images.
