Did You Know: Dragon Fruit!

Have you ever tried a dragon fruit before? I haven't, until now! It is so good, but not just that, it is also super pretty inside! It tasted and had the texture a little like a kiwi, except it is a lot milder in flavor.

Now, how do you cut into one of these babies? really easy!

• grab your dragon fruit and knife and cutting board
• slice your dragon fruit down the middle (like shown above)
• now you can slice it down the middle again (into quarters)
• now, see the pretty pink skin? grab a hold of a corner and pull back. You are going to just peel it away from the flesh.
• when you peel away all the skin you are left with the edible white flesh. Don't worry, the seeds are edible (think kiwi)

Did you know:

• they are full of vitamin C
• full of anti-oxidants
• it grows on a cactus!! 

so go out and try one! be adventurous! take risks! you might end up finding a new favorite food!
