Tired of the same fruits? Looking for an exotic and mysterious looking fruit to surprise your guests?

This strange looking fruit is covered with pink scales and grows on a cactus vine. Although it taste similar to kiwifruit, a good grade dragon fruit (also known as Pitaya) will taste much better and sweeter.

If you’re thinking of trying them, I suggest you ask the grocers the color of the flesh.The best Dragon Fruit has beetroot-colored red flesh while other variations of it have bland white or yellowish content. Avoid those.

I don’t suggest you juice it because it just taste good on it’s own. Just remember not to smile while eating because the small black seeds will definitely stuck between your teeth.

How To Eat It?

No, it’s not a stupid question. Some people do not know what to do with this fruit, so let’s see how you can enjoy it.

1. Trim the scales surrounding the Dragon Fruit.
2. Cut it into wedges like you’d do an apple
3. Cut each wedges into 2-3 sections, be careful not to cut the skin as well.
4. Eat straightaway. Just make sure you don’t wear white because the fruit “bleeds”.

This fruit is believed to help you fight stress related disorders and is used as folk remedy for diabetes, rheumatism or to treat poor eyesight.

A simply delicious fruit!
