Description
It is not known exactly how the grapefruit originated although it was known as the "shaddock" or "shattuck" until the 1800s, taking the name from Captain Shaddock, who introduced the pomelo to the Caribbean from Polynesia in the 17th century. It was first formally recorded in 1750 by the Rev. Griffith Hughes describing specimens from Barbados, where the grapefruit is said to be one of the "Seven Wonders of Barbados". It is believed to be a hybrid of two other fruits - the pomelo and the sweet orange. Pink grapefruit sealed grapefruit's commercial. success. The Ruby Red has even become a symbol fruit for Texas, where white "inferior" grapefruit were eliminated and only red grapefruit grown for decades.
