Grapefruit Trees can grow anywhere in the world, but the biggest population is in Florida. The trees were introduced to the Sunshine State in the beginning of the 19th century.
The first documented instance of these two fruits coming together to create a grapefruit was in the 1750s! This fusion of pomelo and sweet orange was so scandalous at the time that the Grapefruit became known as the “Forbidden Fruit”. Nowadays, it is widely embraced for its natural nutrients and benefits.
