on 10/23/2008 The white membrane on grapefruit and the white pulp on the skin contain loads of fiber. Grapefruit skin-pulp and membrane provide more fiber to the diet that the fruit provides Vitamin C. So, be wise. Eat the whole fruit!

on 11/22/2005 Section grapefruit, removing
all white membrane. Place
sections on cookie sheet and
freeze until solid. Then put
sections in a ziploc bag until
ready to use. Remove, let thaw
and enjoy grapefruit anytime.
