Grapefruit

... that the grapefruit (pictured) is a hybrid fruit and cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo?

Source: Google Books

ALT1: ... that the grapefruit (pictured) was described as the "forbidden fruit" in 1750? Source: Google Books
Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Vollpension
Comment: ALT1 is found in the source, but I am unsure if the fruit being described there was the grapefruit after reading the part about it in the Wikipedia article. ALT0 might be the safer hook choice considering.
