Is grapefruit same as orange ?

Answer 1

A grapefruit is typically about 5 inches in diameter, while oranges run about 2.5 inches.

The flesh of a grapefruit is typically yellow, although the Ruby Red grapefruit is a nice pink. The flesh of an orange is typically pale orange, although the blood orange is red.

Grapefruits have a tangy sour taste. Oranges are sweet, and the best ones have a little bite as well.

Oranges are typically peeled, and segments individually eaten. This varies a lot according to variety; for instance, navel oranges are typically an eating orange, while valencia is typically juiced. Grapefruits are typically cut in half, salted, and sugared, and half-segments removed with a spoon as eaten.

Depending on the variety, oranges typically are ripe for about 4 weeks. Different varieties mature at different times. For instance, navel oranges come on strong in early December, and valencia oranges come on strong in late January. Grapefruit have a very long season, and are available most of the winter.

For some reason, grapefruit and grapefruit juice interfere with certain heart medicines. There's no known interaction with orange juice. Grapefuit, however, is so good, I'd have a hard time deciding whether to avoid grapefuit or avoid the meds. (grin).

Nope, they're nothing alike, except that they are both citrus, both ripen in winter when other fresh produce is hard to come by, and they both are incredibly good.

Answer 2

Grapefruit comes in many varieties,The most popular varieties cultivated today are red,white and pink hues, referring to the inside, pulp color of the fruit.Grapefruit skin is yellow or pinkish yellow in color. The fruit is a modified berry, known botanically as a hesperidium.
Oranges are oval to sphere-shaped fruits with leathery, porous skin. Their color ranges from orange to red-orange. Oranges may be confused with other citrus fruits, such as grapefruits and tangerines. However, grapefruits are usually much larger and more yellow than oranges, and tangerines have a more flattened sphere shape than oranges.
