Once in the supermaket, I saw some the same size. I hesitated from buying it,seeing they were so big and new to me. About a year or two later, I purchased one just to have a taste of it It tasted very sweet, no seeds and not the taste of grapefruit at all. The food separates very easily like corn It took me many days to finish it. They call it chinese grapefruit.(pomelos chinois). Since, I always buy one or two when they came around. I don’t know if it is the same as this one but they look alike. I will only know if I could see the inside.
DNO: This person makes me laugh. I think he is sleeping or does he have a 3-D lense/camera?
This comment was meant for ‘Do not object’. Somehow I pressed the response too quickly prior to sending my original one which appeared where it should not be.
DNO, I`VE SEEN THIS SIZE AND BIGGER GRAPEFRUITS WHILE ON VACATION IN ST. KITTS
@ Me R
So what? Did you purchase it and eat it? If not, why did you not?
I myself was checking is a yam peh that there.
Boyyy this is wa I was checking d same thing!!!!!
@ Ann
I thought the same. It looks like a breadfruit. I would love to see and eat a grapefruit as this one.
I was at the grocery store in Toronto on Friday evening. Someone ahead of me in line had a big breadfruit. When the cashier weighed it per kilo., the cost was approximately $7.00. The male West Indian customer refused to purchase it. I did not purchase one. I told the cashier of the one I saw in the Photo of the Day a few days ago which looked as big as that one. I will purchase one sometime but a smaller one.
How OLD are you? GOD! You are an annoying hardback!
unless you weigh and measure it accurately there is no chance of it making a record, besides.. it’s probably eaten by now.
err admin why arent you putting my photo of the jumping girl?
tried twice already
thank you
Grapefruit juice to THE WORLD!
Imagine if all of them was that size.
that cutting man ban bad boy
Looks like a pink grapefruit. DNA, Where is the owner’s back yard? In Goodwill or Cottage? Some years ago I saw a pumpkin at Laudat that weighed 70 lb. I am now enjoying a soursop (courtesy a friend from La Plaine) that weighed 6lb 4 ounces, and was 11 inches long.
Meant to write DNO* My bad
This is actually a pomelo – not a grapefruit – it is in the same family however.
put a measuring tape (like a tailor’s tape) around it to show how much it measures around. A ruler to show its width. Then we’ll say……”gigantic grapefruit.”
Thats not record breaking,i’ve seen bigger grapefruit than this one
ADMIN: Why didn’t you send a photo? How do we know you not just talking? Where is the evidence?
What a huge grapefruit! I have not seen one like that. The soil must be fertile. I wonder, how many glasses of juice could it produce?
Nice for making grapefruit juice.
Grapefruit on steriods.[lol]
for dominica its big ,but dont ask me ,but those chinese have some three times as big
So the Chinese putting growing march in it or something…how else it supposed to get big so?
what the chinese have is not grapefruit
I wouldn’t want to be the one that have to squeeze that nuh!
awa that have more skin, when you peel that you getting a grapefruit the size or a passion-fruit.
lol. Sometimes is real true but plenty fluff for making plenty marmalade.

This fruit looks more like shaddock(pomelo). A member of the citrus family, used for making shaddock preserve.
ok showoff… hey just a joke, I am sure u are right
As it big there, Lapo alone it have. I sure when you squeeze dat you hardly getting juice!
put it on a table nect to something the everyone knows the size and and draw refrence from.From this angle it looks like a normal grapefruit pushed in front the camera

LOOK AT THE WOMAN HAND YOU FOOL

Wow I could use this to make a pitcher of local grapefruit juice with a splash of almond essence. With this summer heat there would be nothing as refreshing!!! Dominica!!! That’s why we are called the nature isle.
