ruby grapefruit

Red-fleshed breakfast fruit

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

The skin may show a blush of pink.

Ruby and its deeper-colored relative, the Rio Red, dominate commercial grapefruit production: I'll have half a ruby grapefruit for breakfast.
