Perhaps you have seen this strange fruit in the store.... perhaps you have not.... this exotic treat is called dragon fruit, or pitaya. It is the fruit of cactus. The skin is not edible, but the inside is delicious. It is often likened to a kiwi because its texture and the presence of tiny black edible seeds. The presence of dragon fruit is popular in drinks and smoothies as well it is delicious eaten raw. One must simply cut it in half, scoop out the white flesh and remove any remaining skin, and then it can be prepared as you like. It has a very mild taste and is low in calories. It is also not sour at all, but instead a slightly sweet.
I saved my skin and used them as serving bowls to serve the cut up pieces of flesh from the inside.
I hope that I have piqued your interest! I highly recommend that next time you see this fruit in the store that you try it out! It is exotic, fun and very tasty! Well, that's all for today! Until next time, happy munching!
I LOVE dragon fruit! So delicious!
