Best in freshness – For top quality flavour, freshness and nutrition, Florida grapefruit is best stored loose at a cooler room temperature

Make your grapefruit last – Grapefruit that is stored in the refrigerator crisper will last up to three weeks while those that remain unrefrigerated will remain fresh for four to five days

Don’t put your grapefruit at the bottom of the bag – When filling your grocery bags make sure that you put grapefruit at the top or in a separate bag entirely to ensure you don’t bruise or pierce the flesh

No to plastic bags – Plastic bags should not be used to store citrus fruit in order to prevent mould growth

Handle with care – Though it may look like a softball, grapefruit can bruise easily so you want to make sure that you don’t drop or squeeze it
