Marsh
A tier
Marsh is a seedless white grapefruit that dominated early twentieth-century commercial production for juice and fresh mild white flesh. Flavour is classic bitter-tart without red pigment sweetness cues. Still appears where white grapefruit is stocked. Juice blends and traditional breakfast halves. Fans of assertive grapefruit bitterness prefer Marsh to candy-red types. Seedlessness aids eating.
