Padding out a presentation

Basically, in the morning I have to give a talk about Grapefruit, and grapefruit oil. (Yes, I know, THRILLING stuff). To pass, it has to last for at least four minutes.

I wrote as much as I could, using 2 books, and various websites, and my own personal knowledge. After adding as many extra words as I can, and talking as slowly and carefully as I can without being ridiculous and failing, it still only lasts 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

Any ideas?!

    Not really. The only thing I could explain is something we all know anyway, plus I have got the time or resources to do a large enough diagram to explain it. It's more of a talk than a presentation really.

    Off the top of my head:

    What grapefruits are
    Where they are grown/what they come from
    How long they grow
    Who the main producers are
    Who the main buyers are
    When they are normally harvested
    How they get the grapefruit oil out
    What the oil is used for

    Bring a grapefruit to class and give out some samples?

    Even at 30secs per section that should give you enough to talk about.
