Botany
White grapefruit is an orange-like yellow-skinned citrus fruit with white interior flesh. Despite its white interior, it belongs to the same species- Citrus paradisi- as the Pink Grapefruit. White grapefruit is native to the West Indies where European settlers developed this variety by the cross-pollination of the orange varieties (pomelo and sweet orange) of South Asia during the 17th century. Then, a Frenchman brought it to the USA and planted it there. The trees grow up to 30 feet with equal width. It bears ovate small leaves and fragrant white flowers.
Popular white grapefruit varieties are Marsh, Duncan, Oro Blanco, and Melogold. Their plantation decreased when the popularity inclined towards pink grapefruit. The states in the US decided to stop their cultivation. However, pink grapefruit and white grapefruit do not differ in taste.
