Feb.,21,1976 Grapefruit complexions rosey Grapefruit ia coming to tables these days in colors ranging from white to rosy red. Grapefruit can add magic to your meals, color to your table, and lot of zing to faltering winter appetites. Whatever the color, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says grapefruit is on the market in great numbers. It peaks at just the right time, when winter appetites need a fresh wink of spring coming. Marketing specialists with USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service report grapefruit is expected to total 69.8 million boxes this season, up 14 percent from last season’s crop. With the exception of the California desert crop of grapefruit, all growing areas report increases. Florida’s early crop is forecast at 50 million boxes, up 12 percent; Texas’ crop, at 11 million boxes, is a surprising 51 percent over last year’s crop; and the Arizona forecast at 3.1 million boxes represents a 12 percent in crease. This should enlarge' the supply of frozen con centrated grapefruit juice and grapefruit sections, as well as the fresh supply. According to USDA, the newest grapefruit among the reds is the Star Ruby, a grapefruit which was developed at the Texas A&I University Citrus Center. The intense color of the Star Ruby makes it the brightest of red varieties.

Other good things and unusual features of the Star Ruby are that it has a firmer flesh than most other pinks and reds,/and that its juice holds the red color better than others. R. A. Hensz of the Texas A&I University says of it... "even the tree of the Star Ruby is different from other citrus trees. If you cut and peel back the bark of the trunk or a large limb, the exposed cambium on the wood and bark is red, sometimes almost as red as the fruit. It is as if the Star Ruby’s red color actually flowed throughout the tree.” To help you give the white, the pinks, and the reds an There’s a move away from equal chance to vie for costly frills as inflation’s bite favortisim at your table, on buying power forces you may want to start with Americans to re-examine something like this: their expenditures.
