I thought Grapefruit has least carb/sugar of all these...
pl. clarify...

one med grapefruit is still huge compaired to any of the other fruits
if you looked at the other list you will notice it is the lowest
"4 oz. Tangelo -- 8.60
4 oz. Orange -- 7.85
4 oz. Tangerine -- 7.11
4 oz. Grapefruit -- 3.90"

Exactly, a medium Grapefruit is bigger...

Grapefruit = 4.0π
Orange = 1.7π
Tangelo = 1.6π
Tangerine = 1.4π

That would be the area of the flat surface if you cut the fruit in half...If you cut them into slices of equal thickness, a Grapefruit would be more than twice the size of an Orange, Tangelo, or Tangerine.
