Referred to as a ‘forbidden fruit’, Grapefruit originates from Barbados and is an accidental cross between the sweet orange and pomelo. It was first documented in 1750 by Welshman Rev. Griffith Hughes.

The name “grapefruit” is attributed to the fruits growing in clusters which resemble those of grapes. Grapefruit is known for its energising, invigorating and uplifting aroma. Grapefruit is also renowned for its strong citrus and fruity flavour.
