How do I remove the membrane from a grapefruit?

Question

I'm making a salad with grapefruit slices and it's suggested to take off the membrane. Seems a bit tricky. Suggestions?

Answer 1

cut the top and bottom off the grapefruit leaving no white. then using a small sharp knife and sit it on a cutting board. run the knife down the grapfruit from top to bottom taking off all the white pith and leaving as much flesh as possible. once you have a ball of only flesh, use your knife to cut right slongside each membrane part so the flesh inside can fall out easily. it's called segmenting a fruit.

here are some pictures which will guide you.

Answer 2

Not tricky
Cut off the peel with a knife
Then cut on either side of the white line (membrane) with a knife. The slices will fall out nicely

Answer 3

You can make "supremes" where basically it's slicing just the flesh and leaving the yucky membranes. Here's instructions:
