Fruit
Seeds
Grapefruit seeds are the pale pips nested in the segments—bitter if bitten, usually discarded when juicing or supreming. They are not a standard culinary spice; some traditional extracts use seeds, but home kitchens treat them as waste or compost. Strain juice and pick seeds from segments for refined service. Seed count varies by cultivar and pollination; seedless marketed types still occasionally carry a few soft seeds.
