Fluffy Grapefruit
We have just had a branch snap off our grapefruit, due to too many fruit,
and as they are almost ripe we decided to juice them. When we cut the fruit open we noticed that this year they have at least 1/2 inch (1cm for the young ones) of fluffy white pith between the skin and the flesh meaning there is less flesh - last year it was only a very thin layer. Does any one know the real cause of this - I have heard it is due to too much water ? Cheers, Geoff |
