Plant Origin
Originally from Asia, it is now cultivated in the USA, South America and Israel. Grapefruit is picked from a glossy-leaved tree, about 10m (30 ft) high, with white flowers and large, pale yellow fruit.
The oil glands are embedded deep within the peel and yield a small amount of essential oil.
