How do you eat a Dragon Fruit?

Question

I seen one for the first time while shopping this morning.

Answer 1

The fruit is most often eaten chilled and cut in half so the flesh may be spooned out. The juice is used in frozen drinks and it is in a new Tropicana Twister flavor. The red fruit are high in lycopene which is a natural antioxidant that is known to fight cancer and heart disease.

Inside, the texture is like a cross between a watery melon and a pear, but scattered with tiny crunchy seeds, like a kiwi. The taste is also fairly melon-like, in that it is bland. Bland, bland, bland and somewhat sweet.

150g tropicalfruit luxury muesli, crunchy
1 dragon fruit, thickly sliced
45ml Acacia honey
1 lime, juice only


Method

3. Top with the remaining yogurt, cereal, fruit, honey and lime juice.

4. Serve straight away if you like a crunchy texture, otherwise chill for an hour if you like it more chewy.

Answer 3

Just cut it into chunks for serving. You can make them either bite sized, or larger so people can cut them themselves.

I think its one of those fruits that look much better than they taste, but they add a talking point to a fruit salad.

Answer 4

Just peel off the skin and eat the white flesh .

Answer 5

Cut it in half and eat the pulp with a spoon
