to easily eat a grapefruit I could live in half crosswise and I'm going to start segmenting it to do that I hold the grapefruit with my left hand and with a paring knife I'm going to cut along a membrane and then cut along the other side of that membrane I'm going to do that for all the segments and it takes about thirty Seconds to do so but the reward is great you get to eat to deliciously sweet healthy grapefruit without any skin on membrane at all so I started every morning with this so that I get my shot of vitamin C for the day then once I'm done detaching all the membrane for all the segments then it's time to grab a TSP and get those segments out to eat them the first one or two it is a little harder than the other ones but after that they actually you come out very easy it's delicious try it and let me know how good it feels
