The so-called Red Ruby from the USA has been the most popular grapefruit for several years now. In December and January, however, there are many grapefruits of various origins on the market. “Turkey is currently very well represented on the market,” notes Sebastian Samborski from fruit farm Hulsberg on the Bremen wholesale market. “The Turkish grapefruit is currently relatively cheap and of a very good quality.”
Grapefruits have been sold for years under the name Pampelmuse, by fruit farm Hulsberg as well. Generally Pampelmuse are however very large and bitter with a thick skin and the diameter of a small melon. However, currently these are rarely found in German retail and wholesale. The grapefruit, on the other hand, is a cross between Pampelmuse and orange, which can also be sold well as a convenience product. Samborski: “We have cut grapefruit -in cubes and slices- on offer as well. The fruit is also in great demand as an ingredient in fruit salads and blends.”
