grapefruit rind
Bitter yellow covering
The grapefruit rind is the outer covering of the fruit—the colorful, slightly bumpy skin and the bitter white pith beneath it.
The yellow-pink outer layer contains aromatic oils used in cooking and cocktails, while the pith is typically discarded for its harsh taste.
Candied grapefruit rind transforms the bitter peel into a sweet-tart confection.
