DESCRIPTION:

Nation Grapefruit Month occurs each year in February. The purpose is to focus on the health benefits of eating grapefruit.

Though the largest of the commercially cultivated citrus fruits, grapefruit was named such by a Jamaican farmer in the early 19th Century because they grow in clusters, like grapes.

Grapefruit is the only known citrus fruit not to have originated in Southeast Asia. The earliest account shows it to be from the West Indies, and it is a combination of two fruits: oranges and pummelo. The fruit first arrived in the United States in 1823 via either French or Spanish settlers in Florida. The sweetest version, the Ruby Red Grapefruit, was an accident discovered in the late 1920s groves of Texas. The fruit was granted a patent and became the hallmark of the Texas citrus industry.

Today grapefruit is grown in several warm climates, including Texas, California, and Florida. Color can range from off-white to deep red.
