- Observe the spines on the grapefruit skin, large and spaced spines indicate ripe and delicious grapefruit, small and dense spines indicate immature grapefruit.
- When you tap the grapefruit, if you hear a “tap tap” sound, it has thin skin and large segments; a “thud thud” sound indicates thick and spongy skin.
