  About Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) 
   
  Fun fact: In many parts of the world, the waste of grapefruit and other citrus 
  fruits are ground and used as animal feed. 
Grapefruit is a bit of a botanical mystery. It appears to be the hybrid of 
  a sour fruit known as a shaddock and a sweet orange. However, there are no existing 
  records to show that there was a deliberate hybridization of the two plants. 
  So it remains a mystery as to whether it was deliberately bred or was a product 
  of Nature's own type of natural hybridization. First cultivated in the West 
  Indies back in the 18th century, the United States is now the world's largest 
  producer of grapefruit anywhere. Therapeutically, grapefruit has energizing 
  and cleansing properties, plus has a unique ability to aid fat dissolution.
