I have watched several video about cutting a grapefruit and this is the best! I can almost smell the freshness~!

[@davidinthedesert3532]

The trick is a really sharp knife.

[@BradenCopeland]

This is an excellent video. Clear and every step is shown in detail. 5 stars!

[@NikiKa40]

By far the absolutely best video/tip on how to peel and segment a grapefruit. It's made all the difference for me, now I will include a grapefruit in my otherwise rather bleak breakfast.... Your proficiency as a chef shines through in the assurance and clarity of your explanation. Thank you! As to the dedicated knife some of the comments refer to, it is indeed a "paring" (not "pairing") knife. See Merriam-Webster's definition: "paring knife: a small short-bladed knife, (as for paring fruit)".

[@bgntjohnson]

Excellent video, the best I've seen thus far. Certainly a more creative way to cut the grapefruit, over the more traditional peeling or cutting in two halves, eating with the spoon. Thanks, I needed this.

[@laurieandreoniwilson597]

I probably should have looked this up before I cleaned & canned 4 dozen grapefruit. Thank you!!!

[@mimimali251]

Loving the knife 😩

[@lagunarad]

Just tried this and it worked perfectly

[@sonnybrown4758]

Just tried this and it's amazing

[@carolej4913]

Excellent video. Thanks so much!

[@nancysmith49]

Thank you so much! I had no idea how to cut a grapefruit. It was so easy.

[@neenaghai5599]

Thank you. That looked quite easy. I'm going to try it.

[@Gonfalon88]

Great explanation, to the point and with a good pinch of humor. Thank you :)

[@wellokethen]

thank you sm, just did this and it was so easy

[@lindaphillips6941]

Show and Tell; love it --" like so"!

[@BabyIzabella09]

Very helpful, thank you

[@AFriskyGamer]

very helpful, thanks!

[@desertdanno]

I really appreciate this video! Grapefruit is one of my favourite foods. Now I can prep my own, instead of being at the mercy of Del Monte for their ready-made but pricey grapefruit cups - which seem to be no longer available in my area! Thanks so much!

[@EricaYE6]

Thanks Chef!

[@santiagothefootball]

Thank you chef john!! 🙏 😊 😃

[@msmith1821]

very good julienne grapefruit Thanks I will try that

[@lilyjean8110]

I just spent way too long trying to cut my grapefruit and I’m so glad I found this video cus I imagine it’s going to help me tremendously lol

[@foxhole1083]

Great video

[@vlad1111p]

big ups chef just the tip

[@cajunstix]

WOW glen, the years have treated you very well.

[@sofithedofi1805]

Thank you so so much

[@Kamelg]

Thank you Chef :)

[@mechanicgray]

Works great

[@oliver7497]

very cool

[@vrynz]

Thanks for sharing ;-)

[@cheponcillo]

thank you so much""

[@wutang_batman]

He made it look so easy. He's takin the pith.

[@cheponcillo]

Does anybody knows where i can get this little knife? the special one for segment, or does it have a particular name? Maybe this could be very obvious for those who are familiarized this enviroment, i am not, i will appreciate for any answer Thank you

[@loisironman7314]

Such a better way to cut it. I make a mess too. Still a popular video!!! Thanks

[@KatiHathor]

yeah it's a paring knife, most often used to slice apples and oranges and other types of fruit

[@surethingbaby]

I wish I could cut it this neat! My grapefruits always end up with lots of white on the sides and I can't get them to fall into nice pieces like the chef in the video can. In fact I didn't even know a grapefruit was made of pieces. I just figured it was a great big ball of purple, lol.

[@ricot.3206]

👍👌

[@gennabeth]

Going to try it right now. Am I the only one that likes to eat the pith? I like the balance of bitter, sour and sweet. Does this technique work with thinner skinned grapefruit too?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Yes thin skinned grapefruit - oranges, lemons, limes.

[@gennabeth]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking this worked so wonderfully! I kept the pith. I see a lot more grapefruit in my life :)

[@eriyoon]

I don’t like the bitter taste, but it’s actually good for your health! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@annesheffield6667]

I should make a video of how not to cut up a grapefruit! This way looks much better.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Hoots mon, get that accent! Bronx/Gorbals!

[@annesheffield6667]

I have my deceased mother's grapefruit knife -- curved and serrated on both sides -- she used to fix my grapefruit half with this to loosen under each section from top edge. Can you imagine doing that for anyone today?

[@FHTMCRT]

+Anne Sheffield I do it for my wife every day before she goes to work. :)

[@gennabeth]

I love eating grapefruit that way, reminds me of childhood, but also very tedious.

[@robertmalden593]

Welp mine ended up a pile of mush. Think I need better knives lol

[@patchworkpants]

You could also just peel it with your hands and not end up wasting any.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

wHaT iz gRa per fruit?

[@abigaildornan3147]

Ah fellow scot

[@kennethlauer4735]

Sprinkle some salt mmmmm

[@rajashreedas754]

In india size is much bigger than this

[@jeffreyd508]

anyone else quickly coming to the conclusion that there is no simple way? Sigh

[@user-sq2fe9ll2i]

yandere

[@JohnHondo11997]

Am I the only one who just eats the bitter part?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Not at all - we eat it too! But for some recipes and presentations, it's best to remove the bitter pith.

[@JohnHondo11997]

Makes sense! Definitely looks better.

[@ezekiel2517lim]

very helpful. Thanks!
