Question: What is the official fruit of Texas?

Answer: The Texas red grapefruit. The first grapefruit grove in Texas was planted in 1893, but it wasn’t until 1929 that the mutant red variety was discovered. Farmers began promoting the sweeter red grapefruit, and they soon became popular. In 1993, the Texas Legislature recognized it as the state’s official fruit.
