Ingredients

  • 1/2 grapefruit

Method

  1. 01

    Peel the grapefruit and separate into individual segments.

  2. 02

    Use a small sharp knife to carefully cut away the membrane (pith) from each segment.

  3. 03

    Remove any seeds from the segments.

  4. 04

    The segments should now be soft, juicy flesh without any tough membrane.

  5. 05

    Serve immediately — grapefruit has a tart flavour baby may find surprising at first.
