Fruit
Segment
A grapefruit segment is one juice vesicle bundle between radial membranes—the natural portion after peeling. Membrane-on segments are quick to prep; supremes (membrane-free) look cleaner in composed salads and desserts. Segments release juice when cut, so prep close to service. Arrange in citrus salads, top yoghurt and fish, or caramelise lightly under a grill. Pat dry if plating with delicate greens so dressings are not watered down.
