Step 1: Chill your glass with some iceBitter compounds are detected by a group of taste receptors [a type of G protein–coupled receptors] in the mouth. In humans, there are roughly 25 genes in the human genome that code for TASTE 2 receptor genes (TAS2R or T2R) [1] — the bitter taste receptors. These 25 human bitter receptor genes ( TAS2Rs) are known to have high levels of allelic variation [2] which contribute to variations in taste. For example, a receptor encoded by a gene could be responsible for detecting a class of chemically similar bitter compounds, and polymorphisms [which vary by region, ethnicity, ancestry, etc.] at that locus can cause differential functional response by altering the structure of the receptor (among other plausible mechanisms). According to Forbes , bitterness might be the type of taste we understand the least. What we find bitter sometimes differs from person to person. For instance, some people taste bitterness in coffee, while others might think alcohol tastes bitter. Grapefruits are just the sam

If you’re looking for the sweetest varieties of grapefruits, choose from the red. The majority of these different kinds of grapefruit grow outside of the Lone Star State, where the Ruby Red grapefruit was made famous. Ruby Reds are yellow with a pronounced blush, but you can always tell a Ruby Red by the beautiful scarlet inside. While it is generally sweeter than the rest, Ruby Reds can’t hold a candle to our Rio Reds. Bonus Tip: Still Bitter? Try Salt!
