pink grapefruit

Blush-hued breakfast fruit

Pink grapefruit is a variety of grapefruit with pinkish-red flesh, sweeter and less bitter than white grapefruit.

The color comes from lycopene, the same pigment in tomatoes.

Pink grapefruit dominates the commercial market and is often eaten fresh, juiced, or segmented in salads: I'll have the pink grapefruit for breakfast.
