Other than growing your own, where do y'all source yours? What is the secret? Obviously I'd especially love to hear from folks in the Bay Area - though I bet you probably guard your plugs like a dragon hoarding treasure. I'm starting to wonder of white grapefruit is even real or if it's just Big Tiki conspiracy.

My favorite local produce mart that is usually pretty well stocked.

Diablo Foods (hidden gem, albeit pricey - still no dice).

Berkeley Bowl (never failed me before for produce).

Yet despite all that, I cannot find white grapefruit anywhere. Not to mention tons of specialty produce stores, farmers markets, co-ops, etc. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area - surely among the top three tiki hubs in America, and abundant with fresh produce and great climate. This stuff is seriously harder to find than black market contraband.

It all started in 1934 with the first Don the Beachcomber tiki restaurant, and was rejuvenated in the mid-90's with the printing of The Book of Tiki by Sven Kirsten. It's a longing for the time when Pacific islands were still exotic locales that inspired Donn Beach and Trader Vic to create their own versions back home.

Now, as an adult, I don't eat fresh grapefruit as often as I used to, but I still do the same thing when I finish half a grapefruit-and the juice is just as amazing as I remember it. And man, there was only about a quarter cup of liquid that came out of the mostly-consumed grapefruit, but that juice was always amazing, despite a trace amount of artificial sweetener. It was a kind of coming-of-age when I finally developed the upper body strength to match my father's grapefruit-squeezing skills. Actually up until the age of seven or eight, I'd have my dad do it for me. I was a just little kid and didn't have a say in the matter.** Then at the end, I'd pick up the grapefruit, hold it over a glass, and squeeze it as hard as I could. My parents had them on hand and told me to use them.

**Please note: I am not advocating the use of artificial sweeteners. I'd put Sweet'n Low or Equal on it and spoon out the sections one by one. I grew up eating grapefruit halves at breakfast time.
