Now I want some grapefruit

[–] MoonElf@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

are they properly called segments?

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To me that would probably be more descriptive if i didn't also have a photo reference

A wedge, in my brain, would be a sliced portion with the peel

My inner botany nerd looked it up: apparently the scientific nomenclature is carpels

That said, this isn't a peer reviewed post so don't feel like you must talk like a nerd

Grapefruit are so great for taking on a hike and eating with a pocket knife. The satisfaction of peeling a section and eating it outside is wonderful to me.

Anyone else do this with tangerines/oranges then burst the individual bits between their teeth?

[–] MoonElf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

not orange but lemon!

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like doing this to oranges and tangerines since I just can't with grapefruit. I suggest a sprinkle of cinnamon on orange or tangerine.

[–] MoonElf@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

it takes me about an hour to do the whole grapefruit so i only get them rarely.

will try cinnamon on some satsuma mandarin i have and see how it goes!
