Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Make a cross cut on top of the grapefruit.

  2. 2

    Remove the peel from the cuts.

  3. 3

    The peel is completely removed.

  4. 4

    Take off the white pith (remove it diligently here.)

  5. 5

    All the white pith is gone.

  6. 6

    Gently split the fruit in half so that the segments don't get crushed. (The key is not to try to separate each segment individually.)

  7. 7

    Make a cut with a knife into the center of a segment membrane.

  8. 8

    The key is to cut properly into the corners of the membrane. (If possible, cut into the other side as well).

  9. 9

    Peel off the membrane carefully from the cut.

  10. 10

    If you take off the white pith completely in Step 4, you can easily peel off the membrane here.

  11. 11

    Insert your thumb between the segment and the membrane.

  12. 12

    Gently take off the segment with the whole thumb of your other hand.

  13. 13

    It comes off amazingly cleanly!

  14. 14

    Repeat Steps 7 to 13.

  15. 15

    Keep working until the end without trying to separate the individual segments.

  16. 16
  17. 17

    Even soft ruby grapefruit can be peeled cleanly with this method.

  18. 18

    You can use the peeling method with other citrus fruit like yuzu and buntan citrus.
