Hello everyone, we got 4 grapefruit on the veggie box this week and I have noooo idea what to do with them. None of us are a big fan of it so ideas would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance

Cut in half, then pre-cut into segments, sprinkle with brown sugar and eat for breakfast. Yumza!

You can use them in salads, some roquettes, shrimp/prawns, potatoes, coriander, a bit of oil, and you have got a meal, if you find it bitter you can use some ready made salad sauce (something creamy) instead of oil (personally I don't like it)
juiced mix with oranges, smoothies, cocktails....
As pesto I like them like that too, but not at breakfast (hurts the stomac)

I just juice them and drink them but Pesto's one sounds good.

If you have pink grapefruit (sweeter than white) I would segment them, put them in an ovenproof dish, cover with greek yoghurt and then with brown or demerara sugar and grill until sugar caramelises.
Chill and serve as a pudding.
(If you did this and didn't grill it would still be yummy if you left the sugar to melt into the yoghurt).

I have half a one for breakfast everyday. I don't add sugar as this defeats the point of eating a good healthy fruit, but I am an oddball and LOVE sour food.

Purple, I know someone like you. I bet you hve to have squeezed out lemons and limes to suck out the last bits of juice as well!

How about making some grapefruit marmalade or jam? If you don't like the taste yourself, it could be presents.
