Ruby Red Grapefruit

　　 Ruby Red Grapefruit is a traditional specialty of Yushan County, belonging to the sweet grapefruit category. It has a unique flavor and is rich in nutrients. The fruit peel is golden yellow, and each fruit weighs about one kilogram. The flesh is bright red, attractive in appearance, crisp, tender, refreshing, and juicy with a rich, sweet taste. Ruby Red Grapefruit trees are drought-resistant and cold-hardy, with strong adaptability. In 1997, a local resident named Xiao Xinmu selected and cultivated a new grapefruit variety with distinctive regional characteristics from local wild grapefruit trees. In 1998, it was registered under the brand name “Xinmu” Ruby Red Grapefruit, becoming the first locally produced high-quality grapefruit product in the province to obtain independent intellectual property rights. In 1999, the “Xinmu” Ruby Red Grapefruit won the Second Prize for Technological Progress in New Variety Selection from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and in the same year, it received the Golden Cup Award in the 6th National High-Quality Grapefruit Evaluation.
